Just pointing out that instead of typing 1.5mm^2 or 1.5(sq)mm you can type
² by holding down the Alt key while typing 253 on the number pad on the
right of the keyboard like this: 1.5mm². 252 is cubed ³, 248 is degrees °
and 171 is ½. There's lots more.

ooh I don't know ... I don't reckon you'd get away with that in some
places - uk.misc for instance - strictly 7 bit, no smilies etc !

Thanks for the reminder - persuaded me to add "fr.rec.bricolage" to my
