subscript

[afdmello]

I have a document with many H2S with font size 12

I want only the 2 to be subscript and font sixteen. Is there a way to do
this with the find and replace box in office 2007

Instead of making it subscript (which makes it smaller) and then
artificially enlarging it, what you should instead do is format it as
"lowered" (Format | Font | Character Spacing). But I believe that subscripts
are actually correct for chemical formulas.

To answer the question you asked, however, format one instance of H2S the
way you want it and copy it to the Clipboard. Then use H2S in the "Find
what" box and ^c (Clipboard contents) in the "Replace with" box.

Also, there's a real subscript 2 at Unicode position 2082, which is
included in several fonts that come with Windows or Office (such as
Arial, Lucida, Cambria, Calibri, and other of the "C" fonts from
Office2007), but unfortunately not in Times New Roman.

It's designed so it doesn't look grayed out when used in formulas like
this, and you don't need to bother with subscripting.

To access it, type (using the regular keyboard) 2082, then Alt-X.

If you need it a lot, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to it via
Insert Symbol -- go to the "Superscripts and Subscripts" range of
Insert Symbol, select it, and click the Shortcut button.

Thank you Suzzane and Peter. I used Suzzzzne method as the size of the
number 2 was maintained.

Peter I learnt a new way to insert a subscript thanks for that
