Superscript Problem

Jean-Marc Gulliet,
I appreciate your spending the time on my problem. I have two points to 
make. First, I have just begun using Mathematica, so I would have 
difficulty applying your algorithm. Second, it would be best to 
describe my problem in its proper context. I am attaching a Mathematica 
file that describes the problem and what I have done to circumvent the 
problem. In short, I placed the superscripts along with the other 
subscripts that I used in the problem. I simply want to use the 
superscripts as  LABELS and do NOT want them  to be interpreted as an 
exponents. If after reading my attachment you feel you can help, I 
would greatly appreciate it. Please, however, do not spend too much of 
your time tending to the problem.
Stan

                    Mathematica-Compatible Notebook

This notebook can be used with any Mathematica-compatible
application, such as Mathematica, MathReader or Publicon. The data
for the notebook starts with the line containing stars above.

To get the notebook into a Mathematica-compatible application, do
one of the following:

* Save the data starting with the line of stars above into a file
  with a name ending in .nb, then open the file inside the
  application;

* Copy the data starting with the line of stars above to the
  clipboard, then use the Paste menu command inside the application.

Data for notebooks contains only printable 7-bit ASCII and can be
sent directly in email or through ftp in text mode.  Newlines can be
CR, LF or CRLF (Unix, Macintosh or MS-DOS style).

NOTE: If you modify the data for this notebook not in a Mathematica-
compatible application, you must delete the line below containing
the word CacheID, otherwise Mathematica-compatible applications may
try to use invalid cache data.

applications, contact Wolfram Research:
