    Subscript and Inches in Custom Formats

    I have been searching all over Google for this information. All I find is superscripts and stuff that is not accomplishing what I am needing.

    I want two custom formats.

    1) 0.00" """ Hg" - to display as |0.15 " Hg|
    Currently I am dealing with 0.00" in. Hg" - but I want the inches symbol instead of in.

    2) 0.00" """ H2O" - to display as |0.15 " H2O
    Currently I am dealing with 0.00" in. H2O" - but I want the inches symbol and the subscript 2 because chemical equations are annoying. I know Alt+0178 is a superscript; but I cannot find anything about subscript.

    Perhaps this file could be of help?

    Original work was done by ChemistB I think and I modified it a bit to suit my needs so all credit goes to ChemistB.

    It took awhile but I found a workaround. Inserting ' twice would replicate " - simple stupid.

    For some reason, finding a subscript character and copy+paste into the custom format.
