Autocorrect error with subscripts (chemical formulas)

H

Harald Stark

Hi,
I am quite often writing text in word that contains
chemical formulas. To make my work easier, I have created
a bunch of autocorrect entries to get the subscripts while
I type, for example, O2 becomes O<subscript>2 the moment I
typa a space behind it. This works fine for the first time
I type it. The problem is, whenever I happen to revisit
the formula and type a space immediately behind the
correctly formatted formula, it converts the whole formula
to subscript. The same thing happens in tables, even
without typing another space behind the formula. I just
have to place the cursor behind the formula and move it up
or down (not left or right!). I've tried turning off
various autocorrect features, like "COrrect two initial
characters", which did not help.
Any ideas anyone?
