Subscript and superscript are ordinary font formatting. There are checkboxes
for them in the Format Font dialog. There are also shortcut keys, Ctrl+=
for subscript and Ctrl+Shift+= for superscript.

For other sorts of symbols, see

Grace,
If as you say you do a lot of this type of text entry, a real time saver
would to make a list of your most commonly typed equations, apply the
sub/superscript options as Jay suggests and then add them to your Auto
correct text list. Then, when you type say, H2O it will put the correct
subscripted version in for you.
