This uses the \hairsp (hairline space character) since a regular space is
translated to a box for an unknown. *Entering Ctrl-I before the C avoids the
switch to italic.
Alt+= to start. *Enter: \hairsp, underscore, n, space, Ctrl+I, C,
underscore, r, space.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get this faithfully represented in Math
AutoCorrect. *The link to other math notations will be helpful.

You'll need to cobble--but then save your cobbled version as an equation or
an autocorrect entry for future use. Start a new equation, then type the
following inside the equation container:
{underscore}n{spacebar}C{underscore}r{spacebar}
This will give you nCr (where n & r are subscripted). It will also give you
an empty box before the n, which you can ignore (and if you can make it not
show at all... let me know how, because I haven't discovered a method yet).
Of course, this is all much easier to do in Word without the equation
editor... unless, of course, you need additional things that only the
equation editor can do.
You might find this resource useful, since Word 2007's equation editor seems
to "speak" the UTN28 Plain Text Math language:

I have read with interest your question re notation for permutations
and combinations.
I have 2 questions:
1. In Word 2007 how do I insert a hair space? I don't understand what
I read about U +200A etc.
2. Is it possible to superscript n and subscript r.
I did manage by accident to get 2Cr with the 2 superscripted and the r
subscripted, but couldn't repeat the feat.
Your use of Alt seems different to what I read about superscripting
and subscripting.
Thanks
