I know how to enter the square root of something, but how do I shift to the
lower portion to enter info similar to sq. rts. Shift, Ctrl and +/= is used
for square roots, how about the lower portion of a formula. Please help.

Let go of the Shift key. Just Ctrl with = gets you a subscript (the
name of the "lower portion"), while Shift and Ctrl with = gets you a
superscript (which isn't necessarily anything to do with square
roots).
