This seems so basic... but i have spent so many hours and couldn't figure out how. I am using Office 2010 Excel. 

I have legends which must include subscripts and superscript like in equations.

Can someone let me know how to do it (other than making an image of it and using it)?

Thanks,

    What are the characters you need super/subscripted? It is likely that you can add some common Unicode characters instead applying some form of artificial font formatting.

    Example: ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉

    Agreed. In Office 2003, all you had to do was highlight the text you wanted to sub- or super-script, right click and select format, and choose superscript. Now that Microsloth has "improved" their software, there is no simple solution. Good job, glad you're listening to the customer needs out there.

    Use Equation Editor, where generate appropriate format of variable/s, remove eventually the frame and copy the equation/s into appropriate place/s in a legend.

    How about using text box, which can accommodate the Subscript or Superscript...
