1. It is usually enough to be limited to a square from the Word'a "Insert symbol" menu. Select the Vstavka-Simvol items in the Word'a menu... Specify the sign of a square (?) in the plate of symbols, then press "to Insert". The badge of a square will appear in the text on the place of the cursor.

2. Search of a square can be accelerated. For this purpose in the field "set" choose the line "mathematical symbols". For access to the complete list of symbols, establish "Unicode (shestn.)". The code of a square can be inserted into the Code of the Sign field at once. For a square symbol it "00b2" or "00B2".

3. You make repeated input of a square by means of the panel under the name "Earlier Used Symbols". At frequent input of a square adjust in the same window "hot keys" and/or automatic replacement parameters. Pay also attention that not in all fonts there is a square symbol.

4. To put a square even quicker, gather a combination of the Alt keys and number 0178. Before it surely switch the keyboard to the English apportion.

7. If this way does not suit you, put a square, using usual formatting of Word'a - reduction of a font and its shift. For this purpose allocate the two (future square) and select the Font item in the menu. Choose font size on a third smaller (for example, 8 instead of 12). After that on the Interval tab choose in the Shift point - "Up".

8. To square difficult mathematical expression, create a square symbol in the editor of formulas. Select menu items: An insert – the Object – Microsoft Equation 3.0. Then choose "Templates of the top and lower indexes".
