I have to write equations that have a lot of subscripts. What is the shortcut key in Microsoft Office to write subscripts in equations?

Office 2007 (for Word) and 2010 (more widely) has a completely new equation editor compared to previous versions. So, what version of Office? – Richard Apr 7 '10 at 9:54
The newest version. – Phenom Apr 7 '10 at 13:57

in office's inbuilt equation editor you can type ^ for superscript followed by your text, and subscript is _ followed by text

*Superscript: Press CTRL+SHIFT+ =

*Subscript: Press CTRL+ =

Supposedly. I don't have Office so i can't confirm this, but it's what a Google search got me. Let me know if it works!

EDIT: apperently for equation manager CTRL+L does subscript while CTRL+H does superscript. Once again. i googled it so it would be awesome if someone could check it out.

Those are the usual shortcuts for general text, but operations in the equation editor are rather different (for a start there are many more options for sub- and super-script layout). – Richard Apr 7 '10 at 9:55

None of the shortcuts mentioned work. – Phenom Apr 16 '10 at 19:30
