Not too difficult, mate.

Highlight desired text (i.e. the 2), then click on Format -> Font, select Superscript.

Same for subscript, except select Subscript, obviously.

[edit]

Alternatively, if you want to include more than just indices, you might want to try the Microsoft Equation thing by clicking Insert -> Object, Create New tab, Object Type to Microsoft Equation (you might need to install the editor for this), OK. Enter equation using the toolbar.

Cheers mate, hmm one thing, does anyone know where the symbol for proportional is, it looks like an x, but one side is closed.

The one that looks a little like a fish, right?

It's in the first group (Relational symbols), bottom of the left column (on my version, Office XP, anyway).
