I think the problem is that what is done in the story editor does not
necessarily get transferred to the text box. This maybe an Ubuntu
issue for me, and as a work around let me suggest;

Go to the text box, select "Edit contents of frame" icon

Highlight the character you wish to superscript

Get the Properties dialog up

Select Text->Color and Effects

Press the superscript icon

Note that in File->Document Setup->Typography, you can set the
properties of the superscript.
