I love it!
In the Word 2002 keyboard option setting window (Options - Customize -
Commands tab - Keyboard button - Format), in item *Superscript*, the
shortcut keys are given as "Ctrl++". Since"+" is "Shift+=", I suggest
"Ctrl++" is a handy way to remember that the shortcut keys to toggle
into and out of *superscript* mode are "Ctrl+Shift+=".
