Word Subscripts - AutoCorrect

[BigLar]

Is there a way to get Autocorrect in Word to convert something like H2S to H(sub2)S where (sub2) is actually a single-symbol subscripted 2?

I thought about using an ASCII symbol in the "Correct to" box. I was able to find one for superscript, but not for subscripts.

There is a macro available that can do what you are asking for.

If it's just something simple, like H2O, you can always select the 2 and press "Ctrl =" to subscript the 2. Using either method you'll still have to either select either the entire expression (for the macro) or the number (for the keyboard combo).

You can look for an add-in for Chemistry.
