Shortcut For Subscript

Superscript means that the number or text is displayed above the normal text, e.g. m2.
Subscript numbers means that the number or text is displayed below the normal text, e.g. CO2.
If you want to add superscript or subscript in PowerPoint, there are several options.

Image: wallstreetmojo.com 1) Put your cursor in any cell and navigate to InsertSymbol. 2) In the pop-up window, either navigate to the '2' subscript, or type "2082" in the "Character code" field so that it navigates to the "2" subscript for you. My question: I am aware of the ALT+= keyboard shortcut to get to equation editor mode. I also know of the CTRL+=, CTRL+SHIFT+= shortcuts to toggle superscript/subscript mode outside of equation editor. When in equation editor, those shortcuts do not work, and instead I have to click on the Script button from the ribbon.

  • You are literally just two steps away from adding superscript or subscript in your document. Add a superscript or subscript in Microsoft Word with keyboard shortcuts. If you are a bigger fan of shortcuts than finding buttons across the Microsoft Word window, this way of adding a superscript or subscript is the right one for you.
  • You can do this through the Font dialog box, but there is a much faster way. For superscript, simply press Ctrl + Shift + + (press and hold Ctrl and Shift, then press +). For subscript, press CTRL + = (press and hold Ctrl, then press =). Pressing the respective shortcut again will get you back to normal text.


We will show you three simple ways to do this.
