How do I insert superscript in Power Point 2007? I'm used to finding it under
the Font (Effects) menu in Power Point 2000
 
Home tab--> Font Group --> click the button to the right of the name of the
group
or
Select the text, right click and select "Font".

In either case, you should see the sub and superscripts on the non-modal
dialog that shows up. Non-modal means that the dialog can stay open while
you apply the changes to various pieces of text at the same time.

FYI: You can add these too your QAT as well, by clicking the drop down arrow
to the right of your QAT and selecting customize.

i am a chemist, and in previous versions of office i could type the molecular
formula for water quickly with:

shift-H, cntl-=, 2, cntl-=, shift-O

in powerpoint 2007, the second cntl-= does not seem to turn off the
subscript. pressing the spacebar does, but this inserts a space into the
molecular formula, which is not correct. that i could previously type a
complicated molecular formula using only the keyboard was very useful, but
powerpoint seems to have lost this functionality. having to type out a
molecular formula and then go back to apply sub- and superscripts is very
time consuming relative to simply using the keyboard.

does anyone have a suggestion?
 
I am on the same boat and being a chemist I always wanted to go back to
PPT2003. Can not we have the key board shortcut back?
 
I, too, am a chemist and this is very tedious...

for example, try entering the formula:

[Co(NH3)6]2+

with the "3" and "6" subscripted and the "2+" superscripted using the
procedure described above...it takes 12 mouse clicks to do this using the
menu (well, 9 if you use ctrl-= & ctrl-+ to get into subscript and the mouse
to get out). It was much faster in the older versions to be able to keep
your hands on the keyboards anduse the same keystrokes to turn off the
subscripts & superscripts.

Now try typing a chemical equation:

[Co(NH3)6]2+ + 6H2O = [Co(H2O)6]2+ + 6NH3

and this is with relatively easy formulas.
 
Hi

If you add the subscript & superscript buttons to your QAT you can use a
mouse combination to get 'out' too - when you press the alt key the buttons
should display numbers & you press that number to select/deselect. I know
this isn't perfect but hopefully it will save you a bit of time/frustration.

You can add the commands to QAT as Kathy and Lucy suggests.

Alternatively, you can download and install "Shortcuts for PowerPoint"
add-in from http://officeone.mvps.org/ppshortcuts/ppshortcuts.html - among a
lot of keyboard shortcuts, it also defines proper behavior for Ctrl-= and
Ctrl-+ as described at
http://officeone.mvps.org/ppshortcuts/ppshortcuts_features_026.html

We are really asking how to add subscripts/superscriots to the tool bar.
Microsoft is telling us how to work around but we chemists want a button on
the tool bar!!

In 2007? Just add it to the QAT. Right-click the QAT and choose Customize
Quick Access Toolbar (or go to Office Button | PPT Options | Customize). Go
to Choose Commands from "All Commands" (dropdown) and then scroll until you
get to the Su section. Select the superscript, click Add. Do the same for
subscript.

In the same manner that we were able to insert superscripts w/
[shift][ctrl][+/=] and then type the number or letter of the superscript, or
[ctrl][+/=] and then type the number or letter of the subscript, we can still
do that in PowerPoint 2007. However, unlike in Word, we cannot then return to
regular typing by just toggling back, i.e., [shift][ctrl][+/=] does not then
return to regular text. I suppose, but have not yet tried to use the "clumsy"
method to return from superscript or subscript, but at least there is a way
to quickly get into the sub/super-script mode.

Hope this makes your life a little bit easier. If you find the way to
quickly un-sub/super-script, please email me. OK?
