there is no m³/s symbol as such

it is written by combining "m" + "³" + "/" + "s"

if it is the ³ you are looking for then depending upon which font you are using, it is ALT+0179

You can use external text editor and in the mtext type something like this:

m{\S3;}
In Internal text editor you can use right click, select Symbol and select symbol you need. Symbols should be exist in font you're using. Also you can add some symbols to this submenu by editing system registry (I don't remeber full code. But if you really need it I'll try to find code.) And remeber! At table cell editing you can't use both of these methods :(

Problem is I'm using simplex font and the alt+0179 apears as a "?".

Is there any way arounf this. I realise that it's due to the font i'm using, but when I change my font to Arial, all the text apears bold.

change that character from the Simplex font to something that has the correct character

Hi Ste

Use Mtext and type "m3^/s" (without the inverted commas of course). Then wipe over the 3 and the carat symbol and click on the a/b symbol. The 3 has now become a superscipt symbol :D

All the best
