Do you know how to put both a subscript and a superscript on a
character and have them lined up so the subscript is directly above
the superscript, not to one side of it?
You can use the \O (overstrike) switch of the EQ field.
For example, suppose you want the letter X followed by a subscript 2 and a
superscript 3. First type the X. Then press Ctrl+F9 to insert a pair of
field braces. Between the braces, type
EQ \O(2,3)
(That's an uppercase oh after the backslash.) Select the 2 and press Ctrl+=
to make it a subscript. Select the 3 and press Ctrl+Shift+= to make it a
superscript. Finally, press F9 to update the field.
[If you have trouble remembering shortcut keys, subscript and superscript
are in the Format > Font dialog, and Update Field is on the right-click menu
when you're inside the field.]
If the subscript and superscript are different lengths and you want them
aligned left or right instead of centered, add either \al or \ar after the
\O. If the subscript and superscript are too close together vertically, you
can use the Position setting on the second tab of the Format > Font dialog
to move one up and the other down.
Another option, instead of the EQ field, is to use the Equation Editor.
There's an item on the templates toolbar in the editor specifically for
sub&super notation.
