Je can't find the key that allows me to write numbers in a smaller font, for example in a molecular formula

water formula = H2O

I would like to write the number 2 in a smaller size

I know it exists. Please help me

You go to format, character, symbol all the way to the right there are 3 choices:

superscript
normal
and subscript.

You select superscript

Yes, that is indeed the solution and not the others!

Your solution is clear and also correct, thank you :)

Hi Fabienne,
What you're asking for is perhaps more of a subscript than a superscript... that is, a small 2 lowered for the molecular formulation.
For Word, format, font, check subscript.

Best regards and see you later

the small 2 is easy to do, on a laptop, just next to the A there are the arrows and above the arrows there is the small ² there you go, but I'm not sure that's what you're looking for!

Hello, Key: 4² means four squared and not the square root of four.
you are all very friendly, I am happy to read you and to learn slowly through your emails about computing, especially everything that should not be done and also your very useful judgements on materials and methods; Thank you. The charter is very good.

Hum hum !

Hi everyone!

So the best and simplest solution to do this is as follows:

To insert an exponent, simply press the 3 keys "ctrl+shift+=" simultaneously, and you can start writing in exponent. To return to normal mode, press "ctrl+spacebar" simultaneously :)

There you go!!!

Hi Shaka..,
2 against 1.. I must be wrong..
Yet all the chemists in the world and I were putting the small 2 at the bottom, lowering it...
Well.. we learn every day..

Not at all, you’re not wrong, you’re actually right...

I was just telling you that to put the 2 in superscript, you just needed to do it on the keyboard...

It's true, Hurrah. You're right. It's really what you say. I thought it was for everything, but later I understood that it was an exponent she wanted. Our Canadian keyboard for roots is on the 8-9-0 with ctrl + Alt.

You're at 1 against 2 and you're winning.

Hi cle...,
Hello from Canada.
I spent two stays of about fifteen days there a few years ago... In Gaspésie.. France is certainly a very beautiful country... But Gaspésie is magical...

Best regards and see you soon

blux Posted messages 1988 Registration date Status Moderator Last intervention 3 446

you have a key at the top left of your keyboard with a small 2
That's for the exponent 2, but what if you want 3 or 4?
And when you want subscripts?

In conclusion, don't join a discussion that's already a few years old...

Hello,
I am desperately looking for a way to put the square root under my formula (n.p.q.)... in a word processing program like WORD...
Who can help me????

Thanks a lot

Hi

In insertion / special characters / subset "mathematical operator"

√4

hourrrah Posted messages 6976 Status Member 515 > firehead77

Hi firehead..
Wow...!! I didn't know where that character was.
I've only stuck with Word 97 and that's good enough for me... Is it in a later version?
Congratulations also for translating:
put the square root underneath my formula (n.p.q.)

Hi there,

It's indeed in Word 2003, but with one detail, it's the same in other versions, except that the special characters table is a bit more readable thanks to the "subsets" dropdown menu.

As for the translation of "put the square root below my formula (n.p.q.)", I didn't quite understand; she might have wanted something a bit more complex, but I can't transcribe it here. Otherwise, there are free mathematical utilities for Word like the Cmath math glossary.

Hello Hourra.

If you had seen Lake St. Jean (Region), you would understand that we are in "Paradise.... and then I am looking for the key to lock it and I can't find it. Is there anyone who knows where we could see the picture of the keyboard with all the functions, so we don't have to memorize the hiding places of each key?

Hello

If you come to the Lake, let me know. I'll reserve a room for you.

Re.. cle,
The Kingdom, the fjord.. I know them by reputation..
Anyway, everything is beautiful in Quebec. Only Montreal, which I only passed through, didn't please me as much, but I would have needed to spend more time there.

A "photo" annotated of a Canadian keyboard.. that should be found on the net.. with a bit of searching..

Best regards and @+

Hello Faby.

I hope you’re in Word.

You go to INSERT. You scroll down to Special Characters.
You look for FONT. And you have fun like a little crazy person.

Here I show you that it’s there:
The square root of 4 is written 4²

Well, see you

Cle
