Text Formatting ⇒ Superscript before Expression

[chloe]

Hi all, I need help with superscript. I need to have the 110 in superscript before the Pd in - 110Pd. Everything I do doesn't work! Can you someone advise me please. Thanks in advance, Chloe

"Doesn't work" as problem description is not very helpful. A minimal example that shows the problem clearly along with the corresponding error message(s) from the log file is much better.

Actually \textsuperscript{110}Pd in the source of your document should do. It seems like you want to typeset a Palladium isotope. If so, take a look at the mhchem package for typesetting chemical symbols (and more).

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}

\begin{document}
  \ce{^{110}Pd}
\end{document}

For details have a look at the package manual. You have instant access on the command line.

Code: Select all

texdoc mhchem
