Being a master’s student, I always have something to do with Microsoft Word. Be it assignments, lab results or project reports not a week goes by without having to use winword in the run dialog.

It gets even worse when I am forced to type in lines of equations having subscripts and superscripts. Its a nightmare to go through the long process of right-clicking for a context menu, then selecting the Font menu item that brings up a dialog and then requires you to check the Subscript option of the many other effects (Note: The process repeats to get the cursor back to normal font style). All this just for a few alphabets or numbers can definitely be agitating especially when its right before submission time.

So, here’s a nifty keyboard shortcut for the subscript effect – Ctrl+=
(keep the control key pressed and click the equal key to toggle between modes)

I hope there is something for the superscript too…
