Correct Answer:
C. Ctrl + Shift + +
Superscript is a text formatting feature where characters are raised slightly above the baseline and are typically smaller than the surrounding text, often used for footnotes or mathematical exponents.
- Ctrl + Shift + + is the correct shortcut key for applying superscript in Microsoft Word. This combination toggles the selected text or the text you type next into superscript format.
- Ctrl + Shift + S (A) is not the standard shortcut for superscript; it is often used for applying a style or for 'Save As' in some applications.
- Ctrl + + (B) is typically used for subscript (Ctrl + =) or for zooming in many applications, but not for superscript in Word.
- Ctrl + Alt + S (D) is not a standard shortcut for superscript in MS Word. It might be assigned to other functions or custom macros, but it doesn't activate superscript by default.
Understanding these specific shortcuts is essential for efficient document formatting in Word.
