Superscript Text

How do I use CTRL-H to change the "st" in a cell  - i.e. "1st issue" to superscript?

    1. On the Home tab, in the Font group, click the Format Cell Font dialog box launcher Button image next to Font.

      Excel Ribbon Image

      Keyboard shortcut  You can also press CTRL+SHIFT+F or CTRL+1 to quickly display the Font tab of the Format Cellsdialog box.

    2. Under Effects, select the Superscript or Subscript check box.

      Sorry, does not solve the problem I posted. Your solution superscripts the entire cells contents. I'm looking for a hot key solution like CTRL-H to make 2 characters in a cell of many characters superscript.

        You are able to select just the two latter ST or RD, .. and make them superscript in a cell this way too.
