Creating Subscript and Superscript in Microsoft Word

This should work in most versions of Word, although I don't have the newest 2003 version to test it on. Although you can use the Character Map to perform some Superscript and Subscript chores, the procedures below will help when you need something extra.

Superscript (Letters/numbers typed above the line of text):

After typing CO (or whatever text you want), immediately press the Ctrl key, the Shift key, and the equals (=) key at the same time. Release the keys then type your number 2. It will become a superscript and look something like this: CO². To get back to the main text line, press the Ctrl key, the Shift key, and the = key at the same time, then release.

Subscript (Letters/numbers typed below the line of text):

After typing CO (or whatever text you want), immediately press the Ctrl key and the equals (=) key at the same time, release the keys then type your number 2. It will become subscript with the number two lower than the preceeding letters. To get back to the main text line, press the Ctrl key plus the = key again.


Hope this helps.
