Superscript and subscript keybinds not working on the android app.

Question

I have a samsung s8 ultra with a keyboard, and i have tried using the Ctrl + = and - for super and sub script however it doesnt seem to work, is there another bind i am not aware of, or is there a way to customise the keybinds?

Hi Thomas:

Eeew, you've got me -- I don't have an Android device here to try this on.

So I will tell you where it is supposed to be, and you tell me if you find it:

1. Hopefully you have a Tools menu (not all versions of Word have it). If yours does not, try right-clicking the Quick Access toolbar.
2. The last item should be Customise Keyboard.
3. The dialog below should open:
4. 
5. Change the Categories column to "All commands"
6. In the Search field, type "super" to constrain the (very long...) list of Word commands to just the ones you need.
7. Select Superscript
8. The CurrentKeys field will show the current key binding.
9. You may change it by typing a new key combination in the "Press new keyboard shortcut" field.
10. If the combination is already bound to a different command, the Currently assigned to: line will appear. If you don't want to replace that, type a different combination.
11. If you click Assign, your new binding will replace the binding of the combination you typed, and will be added to the bindings for the selected command.
12. You can use the Remove button to ensure that each command has only one binding if you need to.
13. The bindings are saved in the local instance of the Normal.dotm template: think very carefully before changing that, you can create nearly all the trouble there is by getting adventurous there :-)

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply,

After looking through my version, i am unable to find a "Tools menu", i have seen it on the windows version of word but it looks like it isnt availible on the android version. I have attached a screen shot of how my app looks and the settings (Which is a ghost town it seems.).
