Here are the steps Ctrl-9 to open math cell (I am inside a text cell) then typed x Ctrl[6] 2 (this is the same as Ctrl^2 for superscript now I selected x again (did this to prevent the parenthesis from being created) and typed Ctrl[-] 1 for subscript But now the "2" and "1" are not on the same level, so now I selected the "2" and typed Alt[Left] few times until it is aligned over the "1". Alt[left] is Nudge Left (use the arrow key) Ok, the output is ok, but too many steps to do, and I think Latex looks little better? Here is screen shot for Mathematica and for latex to compare http://12000.org/tmp/formating_oct_22_2009/Mathematica.PNG http://12000.org/tmp/formating_oct_22_2009/latex.PNG I hope there still a way to do this easier in Mathematica. --Nasser
