A. Enter s, press Ctrl + =, enter n,n as the subscript of s.

B. Then press Ctrl + =, move the cursor up, and type = x1 + x2 + x3 + ... + xn, which avoids pressing the key combination twice for each x entered.

C. Select 1, press Ctrl + =, and 1 is moved to the subscript of x. In the same way, 2, 3, and n are also moved to subscripts.


(2) With commands

Click the X with 2 subscripts icon, you can also insert a subscript, you can try it yourself.


Three. How to subscript and superscript in Word?

1. Word does not provide a separate feature of adding superscripts and subscripts at the same time, so to meet this requirement, you need to borrow "formulas". Press Alt + = at the same time, insert a formula input box and automatically switch to the "Design" tab, click "Script", select Subscript - Superscript.

2. A "subscript - superscript" is inserted into the formula input box, click the black dotted box in the middle to select it, enter a, click the subscript dotted box to select it, enter 1, and enter 2 in the same way.

3. Click the "Down Arrow" in the lower right corner of the "Formula Box", and then select "Justification → Left".
