Use this interactive demo to learn how to apply superscript formatting instantly in PowerPoint.

Quick summary

The PowerPoint superscript shortcut lets you raise selected text above the baseline without opening any menus. Press Ctrl + Shift + = on Windows or Command + Shift + = on Mac to apply superscript formatting in seconds.


Steps

  1. Select the text you want to format as superscript in your PowerPoint slide.
  2. Press Ctrl + Shift + = (Windows) or Command + Shift + = (Mac) to apply the superscript shortcut.
  3. The selected text will instantly shift above the baseline, confirming the superscript formatting is applied.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing the PowerPoint superscript keyboard shortcut saves time for anyone writing scientific formulas, mathematical notation, footnotes, or trademark symbols in presentations. Instead of navigating the Font dialog box, users can apply superscript formatting instantly with a two-key combination on both Windows and Mac. This makes PowerPoint a more efficient tool for academics, scientists, and business professionals who frequently format technical content. Mastering this shortcut reduces friction and keeps your presentation workflow fast and consistent.
