you can only write variables or constants with a subscript. The asterisk can not be used since it is a math operator. You can use it in text format.

Its a bit odd. I was hoping that my equation look similar to as/nzs design standard code variables.

N* is all over steel, concrete and timber design standards.

It would then be much easier to share the cal sheets.

In Mathcad 15 you can use "Ctrl + Shift + j" and "Ctrl + Shift + k" trick:

    OK, here are my tries.

    The first one being exactly what Luc suggested.

    The second one a bit problematic in use as its not a variable name but a math term.

    All have in common that have to do a lot of work to achieve a mediocre result.

    EDIT: Just see that Valery had beaten me by some minutes concerning the second method. Of course he is joking with *:=3
