Scientific notation in Microsoft Word

Question

Typically, 2.98e+03 is used to represent scientific notation when performing calculations on computers. This is challenged in scientific writing, where we use superscripts and explicit multiplication for powers like 2.98x10³. If there is a quicker way to transfer the scientific version of an Excel spreadsheet to the typeset version of the same number in a Word document, please let me know.

I have tried different options in word but not worked, so far.

Answer 1

I used following approach in Excel and Word and worked for me.

In Excel,

1. Used the formula in Excel to convert 2.98E+03 into 2.9x10^E+3

   =LEFT(TEXT(C2,"0.00E+0"),3) & "x10^" & RIGHT(TEXT(C2,"0.00E+0"),3)

In Word,

2. Copied the values to Word, used Ctrl + H and select "use wildcards"

3. in "find what" enter to find E+ values ^^E+([-+0-9]@); to find E- values ^^E-([-+0-9]@)

4. in "replace with" enter \1 to replace E+ values; enter -\1 to replace E- values

5. press format - Font, select superscript

6. press replace all
