Is there a shortcut or any way of creating superscripts and subscripts in an Excel cell? I was trying to type exponents and it wouldn't work.

First select the text, then go to Format>Cell and choose Superscript. You could record a macro, or use the shortcut:
SuperScript
Alt+O+e+Alt+e+Enter

Subscript
Alt+O+e+Alt+b+Enter

Here's something else for you.
For ? use Alt and 0176 on the keypad
For ? use Alt and 0178 on the keypad
For ? use Alt and 0179 on the keypad

John Walkenbach has a free download to do this as well:

Macros won't work while the cell is in edit mode, but you could go through the troble of writing one to do it after the entry.
