   My apologies if this is a obvious questions/solution.  I have an 20+
page document with several instances of molecules being called by there
symbolic representation.  (ie. CH4, N2O, H2O, etc.).  I would like to be
able to change all of the numbers to subscripted numbers.  I have tried to
use the "replace all" method in the edit menu, but it doesn't let me
replace text with subscripts. Incidentally, it does let you replace the
text with a subscript (ie. I can change CH4 to a subscripted CH4) but not
to text and subscript (CH and then a subscripted 4).  Is there an easy way
of doing this?  Or maybe a simple macro?

Thanks,
Geoff
