Easier way to superscript text in Excel?

I'm doing several physics labs for school and there are various powers, etc used in equations. These are for display purposes, not for calculations used by Excel. Is there a way to add a shortcut onto the toolbar like Word where I can click a button and it can make the selected text super/subscript? I can only do this currently by selecting text, right click, format cells, then superscript, then OK. That's a lot of work.

Any help?

You can record a macro and assign it to a key like CTRL-a.

Start the macro recorder with a cell selected, then go through the format cells - superscript - OK steps, and stop the recorder. Then edit the macro to remove all the lines between "With Selection.Font" and "End With" except the line that says ".Superscript = True" so you don't affect other attributes of the cell.
