When I type an equation, such as C6H12O6 + 6O2, the numbers should be
slightly lower that the letters. How can I do that?

To lower numbers in an equation in Microsoft Word, you can use subscript formatting. Here's how to do it:

1. Type out your equation as normal, including the numbers that you want to lower.
2. Highlight the number that you want to lower.
3. Right-click on the highlighted number and select "Font" from the drop-down menu.
4. In the Font dialog box, check the box next to "Subscript" and click "OK".
5. The selected number will now be lowered and formatted as a subscript.

You can repeat this process for any other numbers that you want to lower in your equation. This is a quick and easy way to format equations in Microsoft Word.
