How to put in subscript and superscript characters

Hi:
Does anyone know how to insert subscript and superscript characters into
Dreamweaver. I am doing a site for an engineering/manufacturing firm and I am
trying to create a subscript 2 like one would see in H2O. The "2" should be
small and lower than the "H" and the "O". I've tried creating one in WORD and
cutting and pasting but that will not work and when I use the ₂ code
that does not seem ideal as it tends to slightly push down the line below once
the character is in and I don't feel like changing the line spacing on the
entire site. The other thing I can't seem to do is make a tiny "Registered" ®
character. Simply cutting and pasting from WORD, the small superscripted symbol
gets made into a large ® once I paste it in. Can anyone assist?

Add this to your CSS -

sub { position: relative; bottom: 0; left:.2ex; font-size: 80%;}

Then use the <sub> tag.

What Murray said + NEVER rely on Word for formatting. Bring only plain,
unformatted text into DW and they use CSS to make it look the way you want.
I usually paste Word text into NotePad first to strip everything out, then
copy & paste into my HTML page in DW.

No doubt the CSS styling is better. You can place your sub/super script
wherever you want. But if you just want a quick fix go to the URL above and
use an HTML tag. Sadly the spacing is a bit unattractive but if you are not
familiar with CSS it is much better
