In Word write two numbers like 32, highlight the number 2 and choose superscript

in previous word's you highlight the number> format> font> select superscript under effects. Is there anything like that in 2007? sorry if its no help.

EDIT: Just looked at your screenshot, on the right click there is a *font* link, try looking in there?

exponents are easy guys. you are all killing each other on this ? lol
here's how it's done :

am assuming your number is already there, just go to Insert-->Insert Object
now browse for Microsoft Equation 3.0, some bunch of sh*t will appear, like below

just where my poorly created arrow is pointing is Subscript and SuperScript
when you click it it will give you a drop down list as to where you want to place your "power of"...

You can also highlight and press "CTRL +" for subscript and "CTRL SHIFT +" for superscript (you should be able to add icons to the toolbar as well). Equation editor or Mathtype are useful for longer complex equations and numbered equations.
