Option 1: Perform Subscript from a PC or Mac
- Open Docs.Google.com from your PC or Mac. Then login with your Google account.
- From the Google Docs homepage, open the document you want to edit. You can open an exiting Google Docs document from the Recent documents group. You could also open from Google Drive by clicking the 3 lines on the top left of the page. Then select Drive.


- When the document opens, select the word you want to make subscript. In this example I want to make “head” subscript.

- The word you selected will automatically become subscript.

- To make the word normal, click Format and point to Text. Then click Subscript. The highlighted word will be turned back to a normal word.

- To open a saved Google Docs document from Google Drive, on the top right of the app, tap the folder icon. Then tap Google Drive.

- When the Google document opens highlight the word (s) you want to make subscript. Then tap the Format icon – highlighted in red below.

- Tapping the Format icon displays a drop-down with two tabs – Text and Paragraph. Text tab is opened by default.

- On the Text tab, tap the subscript icon

- The text will be made a subscript!

- To remove the subscript, tap the subscript icon again. The word will return to normal.
