I'm sorry,  Since I already have suprascript and subscript up on my tool bar, my instructions were what to do for O(subscript)2 so all you have to do is type O2 (normal script) and it changes automatically.  I don't like having to highlight the 2 and go up there and click the subscript button every time.  I would rather type O2 and let Word change it for me.    I try to get Word to do as much for me as possible.  I do this for cm squared, cm cubed, H2(subscript)0, etc.
