How do I line up a superscript and subscript on top of each other

Two ways come to mind:
1. Use an { EQ \o (6,D) } field. To do this, type the field text shown
between the curly braces (but not the curly braces themselves), manually
subscript the 6 and superscript the D, highlight the field text, press
Ctrl+F9, and press Alt+F9 twice.
2. Insert an Equation Editor object. To do this, click on Insert | Object
| Microsoft Equation 3.0. There is a ready-made equation format for what you
want to do here.
 
Garfield: Thank you for the tip. I am completely ignorant of the Equation
Editor. I tried it and got an message saying "Error! Bookmark is not
defined!" There was a small box which I didn't know what to type in. I
followed your steps consecutively, so what did I do wrong? Thanks again for
your help! Debbie

BTW, g-n-o, the EQ \o approach is a clever one; I had not thought of that.
