Keyboard Shortcuts in this PowerPoint Tutorial:
► Subscript Shortcut: CTRL+=
► Superscript Shortcut: CTRL+SHIFT+=
► Open the Font Dialog Box (easy) – CTRL+T
► Open the Font Dialog Box (hard) - CTRL+SHIFT+F, or CTRL+SHIFT+P

The superscript shortcut and subscript shortcut work in Microsoft Word too.

If you are using PowerPoint 2010 or PowerPoint 2013, hitting the subscript or superscript shortcut a second time will remove the subscript or superscript. If you are using PowerPoint 2007, hitting the shortcut a second time will not undo your scrip…instead you need to use the Font Dialog box (CTRL+T) on your keyboard to remove it.

After opening the Font dialog box, it’s important to note that it is keyboard driven, just look for the underlined letters in each of the command’s names. To select these different commands, simply hit ALT+ the underlined letter in the command’s name that you want to activate or deactivate.

For example, the letter “b” is underlined in the word subscript, so you can turn the subscript on or off by hitting ALT+B on your keyboard when within the Font dialog box (this does not work if you are not within the Font dialog box).

Within the Font dialog box, you can also adjust the offset of the subscript or superscript. Simply look for the offset input box. Changing the percentage of this offset input box will increase the spacing of your subscript or superscript.
