Hello Doug,
You can resort to the Equation Editor to create a sub subscript. This
does not get placed in the text line as it does in Word, so there may
be some work arounds with which to deal. The default size of the font
is 7pt for subscript and 5 pt for sub subscript. These can be changed
in the Size, Define menu.
If you are not familiar with Equation Editor, post back and we will get
that going.
Let us know how things go.

Me again,
Another approach is doing some code that could be expanded to make a
line with more of your sentence.
**** Begin Code ****
Public Sub doubleSubScrpt()
'Make text box
With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes _
.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 0, 0, 300, 40)
.Name = "DofTii" 'Name text box
With .TextFrame
.TextRange.Text = "Dti = small change" 'Fill with text
With .TextRange
With .Characters(2, 1).Font 'Formats t
.BaselineOffset = -0.3
End With
With .Characters(3, 1).Font 'Formats i
.BaselineOffset = -0.5
End With
'Makes contents of the text box formatted
With .Font
.Size = 24
.Name = "Times New Roman"
.Italic = msoTrue
End With
'Makes those characters that were acting out
'in string straighten up.
With .Characters(5, 19).Font
.Name = "Arial"
.Italic = msoFalse
End With
End With
End With
End With
End Sub
**** End Code *****

Equation Editor is probably really the way to go, but here's a technique
that will work in a regular PPT textbox.

Select the T.
Format|Font.
Check Subscript. The offset will change to -25%.
Click OK to close the dialog.

Select the I.
Format|Font
Check Subscript. Change the Subscript percentage to -50.
Click OK to close the dialog.

You may need to adjust your line spacing to allow for these. Format|Line
Spacing to do that.
