Chemistry symbols

[Guest]

I am using Word XP. I have a large document with Chemistry symbols as text.
I would like to replace the CO2 and have the 2 be subscript. I have tried to
type the CO2 with the 2 subscripted to replace the CO2 but it subscripts the
whole thing. I can also just replace the 2 with a subscript 2 but then I
have to do each one (about 300) individually because I don't want all the 2's
in the document subscripted. I cannot find any Chemistry symbols to use as a
replacement. Thank you for your assistance.

Create the CO2 in a doc as you want it. Select and Copy it. Then run Find
and Replace and in the Replace box, enter ^c, which stands for "clipboard
contents"

By the way, if you click on More in the F&R dialog, the Special menu gives
you access to many more options, including Clipboard Contents.

There is an easy way of doing subscript and superscript. first add t
your toolbar the two buttons you will find in customising you
toolbar.

All you have to do then is to highlight the 2 in CO2 and click on th
subscript button.
