In which version are you seeing it not working? It still works for me in
Word 2007. Check to make sure that the shortcut hasn't been assigned to
something else (or unassigned).

What are the new commands to toggle on/off superscripts? subscripts? I
cannot
for the life of me figure out how it is working. In previous versions,
cntl+=
toggled subscripts on/off. It no longer works (in Word or Powerpoint). As
a
chemist this is extremely frustrating, because super- and sub-scripting is
a
way of life for us. Perhaps I will switch back to a previous version or to
another word processor. Any program that gets my work done faster is best
for
me. I am not happy if I have to download something to work around
something
that worked in previous versions. I am sorry if this message seems
scathing,
but had I known of this issue, I would not have updated.

The 2 in H20 should be subscripted. The keyboard shortcut for the
subscript
format is Ctrl+=. You can either press this before typing the 2 and again
afterward, or type the 2, select it, and press the keyboard shortcut. The
keyboard shortcut for superscript (used for exponents) is Ctrl+Shift+=.

How do I type simple chemical formulae, ie H2O - water, so that the 2
is
in a
smaller font and below the preceeding letter?
