Command/Shift/- puts you in subscript mode
Command/Shift/+ puts you in superscript mode
Command/Shift/space takes you back to "normal typing" mode.
The thing I dislike is that MS-Word subscripts look like sh*t.
Currently, they use a 2-point descender and shrink the font by 2
points. This looks very bad, especially if you're subscripting
numbers. It should be something like a 3-point descender, and a
3-point font shrink. Furthermore, you cannot cascade subscripts, an
obvious flaw in MS-Word. Even Xerox STAR has this basic feature.
I have not discovered a way to change the default subscript, or a way
to do cascaded subscripts without calling out the big guns from the
style sheet. Will we have to live with this flaw forever?
