Default Abbreviation for Carbon Dioxide

Or, select it and type Ctrl-=. This works best if you've continued
typing your line and at some point go back and do it, so that you
don't have to worry about changing the following characters back to
normal.

Also, in some fonts (including the "C" fonts that come with Word2007,
Cambria Math, and several others, but unfortunately not Times New
Roman), there are special characters for the subscript and superscript
numbers; you get at them with Insert Symbol and going to the
"Superscripts and subscripts" section of the display (using the
dropdown at the top right).

You can then assign them Keyboard Shortcuts, or you can assign them to
AutoCorrect entries as Herb suggests.

Actually, for chemicals like that the 2 should be "slightly *lower" not
higher.After the CO type Control+= then type the 2. Then type Control+=
again to turn Subscript off. Alternatively just type the 2, select it, then
go to [depending on version of Word] Format Font & apply Subscript.

How do I create the small 2 that's placed slightly higher than the other
