Chemical notation: charge and #atoms directly above each other: how?

For the BH4, you could use a field coded as:
{EQ \s(\f(,4))}
with the 4 subscripted.

Note: The field brace pairs (i.e. '{ }') for the above example are all created in the document itself, via Ctrl-F9 (Cmd-F9 on a Mac); you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. Nor is it practical to create the field via the standard Insert|Quick Parts|Field dialogue because of the need to subscript the 4.

Thanks for you reply, but I'm afraid I need a bit more help since I have no idea what coded fields are and if I follow your instructions, all I get is BH, followed by what I typed between "{" and "}"
