Probably the easiest is to use the new equation editor. Press Alt+= to open an editor box -- this can be in a new paragraph or inside regular text -- and also to display the Equation Tools ribbon. In the Structures group on the ribbon, click Script and choose the picture that has boxes for superscript and subscript to the left of the main box. Type the atomic mass in the superscript placeholder, the atomic number in the subscript, and the element symbol in the main box. Because the editor assumes the main box is a math variable, you have to select it and press Ctrl+I to turn off the italics. The one drawback of the new editor is that it can only use one font, Cambria Math. That may change in the future. Another way is to use the EQ field with the \a switch, which is mean for making arrays. Press Ctrl+F9 to insert field braces. Inside the braces, type eq \a \ar (A,N) but replace A with the atomic mass and N with the atomic number. Format the whole thing in a smaller font size -- for example, 8 pt to go with 12 pt regular text. Press F9 to update the field. Then type the element symbol to the right of the numbers. A third way, similar to the first, is to use the same Microsoft Equation 3.0 that was available in previous versions. Click Insert Object Create New Microsoft Equation 3.0. (If that choice isn't in the list, you'll have to go through the Office installer, choose "Add or Remove Features", and choose Equation Editor under Office Tools.) On the editor's toolbar, click the superscript/subscript group and choose the layout with superscript and subscript to the left of the main box. To remove the italics on the element symbol, click the Style menu and choose Text. After using any of these methods, it would be a good idea to select the whole thing and make an AutoCorrect entry of it so you can quickly use it again. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Answer: how do i type isotopes in Word 2007?
How to Type Isotopes in Word 2007
1. Open a new or existing Word document. 2. Type the element symbol for the isotope you want to write. For example, "C" for carbon. 3. To write the atomic number of the element, type the number and then format it as a subscript. To do this, highlight the number and then go to the "Home" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen. In the "Font" section, click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner to open the "Font" dialog box. Check the "Subscript" box and click "OK". The number will now appear as a subscript. 4. To write the mass number of the isotope, type the number and then format it as a superscript. To do this, highlight the number and then go to the "Home" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen. In the "Font" section, click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner to open the "Font" dialog box. Check the "Superscript" box and click "OK". The number will now appear as a superscript.
I hope that helps!
