How do I do the cubed symbol?

Hi Pam,

Late to the party, but you can skip the return toggle with this process.

• Type the line, including H20.
• Select the 2, then press control-command-minus.
• Done.

Regards,

Barry

I agree that reading and using help files and associated documentation can get part of the way PROVIDED, in this case I knew that the English term for that required tiny 3 is Superscript and further I needed to know what Baseline means.

What the documentation does not help me with is how to type something like H2O easily (with the 2 displayed as a subscript). BECAUSE If I type H2 then go back and make the 2 subscript the next letter I type will also be subscript — I need to know to turn subscript off again.

Using keyboard commands I type 'H' then 'Control-Command-minus' then '2' then 'Control-Command-minus' then 'O'.

The Control-Command-Minus (or Control-Shift-Command-+) actually toggle Subscript (or superscript) ON and OFF.

All Good - thanks for the heads up about the 'old post'.

I thought it was sad that the previous 'ouch' post put it near the top of the list and it would be read by newer users of the forum. I was attempting to demonstrate that most of us are here to learn and to assist others to learn rather than to prove home much (or little) we know. (And, yes these days I would use the LaTeX Equation editor... closer to 2011 I would have used MathType).

Yes, Barry I know I can type a complete formula/equation/date etc proceed to the end of the sentence then go back and change to super/sub-script. I prefer the keep typing method. BUT it is great to be able to see so many ways of achieving a results.

Thanks again

Responding to a six year old post eh, Pam? 😉

In Pages v6.1 and v6.1.1, entering \rm H_2O in the LaTeX Equation editor will produce:

and \rm Fe^{3+}

Are you one more user assuming that Pages User Guide is just designed to help helpers to help you ?
