If you happen to use MS Word 2007 for equations and wonders why the heck there isn't a shortcut to subscript and superscript then you will like what I just found couple of minutes ago.
If you want to type e1 with 1 as subscript just type e_1. The moment you hit space it will become what you want. To make 1 superscript type e^1 and space. Enjoy!
That is fantastic. I'm a high school math teacher and my district just upgraded to Office 2007 from 97 (we never used 2003). Jumping to no keyboard shortcuts is a pain. I checked out what you did and tried using the / key for division as well. It created a fraction!
ReplyDeleteSo, I have a question. Any idea how to quickly insert a radical symbol?
Yes, you can simply type \sqrt and when you hit space it'll become the radical symbol.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like MS word supports most of the escape sequences in LaTex. So you might find this common LaTex command set helpful to be used in Word as well https://authors.aps.org/latex/

ReplyDeleteAlso, if the subscript part is not simply one letter or number, but a bunch of them, then you need to put the whole subscript part in () after you type underscore. For example, if you need to type ei-1, with i-1 subscripted, then you simply type e_(i-1).
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Saliya !!!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks
ReplyDeleteMany thanks ...........
ReplyDeleteThis is really helpful. And I want to type mod values like mode v (v with underscore). How to type these mod values in equation editor in MS WORD ?
ReplyDelete@Namah: I am not quite sure what you meant by "mod values"?
ReplyDeleteOH WOW THANK YOU. For years I had to press the stupid "E^x" button then choose insert subscript or superscript. thank you so much, been searching for this forever.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot... most other sites did not mention that space bar should be pressed.
