{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            WordDocument doc = new WordDocument();

            // Superscript example: E = mc^2
            Run run1 = new Run();
            run1.AddText("E = mc");

            Run superscriptRun = new Run();
            superscriptRun.AddText("2");
            superscriptRun.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Superscript;

            Paragraph paragraph1 = new Paragraph();
            paragraph1.Add(run1);
            paragraph1.Add(superscriptRun);

            // Subscript example: H2O

            Run run3 = new Run();
            run3.AddText("O");

            Paragraph paragraph2 = new Paragraph();
            paragraph2.Add(run2);
            paragraph2.Add(subscriptRun);
            paragraph2.Add(run3);

            // Another example: x^n + y^n = z^n
            Run runX = new Run();
            runX.AddText("x");

            Run superN1 = new Run();
            superN1.AddText("n");
            superN1.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Superscript;

            Run runPlus = new Run();
            runPlus.AddText(" + y");

            Run superN2 = new Run();
            superN2.AddText("n");
            superN2.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Superscript;

            Run runEquals = new Run();
            runEquals.AddText(" = z");

            Run superN3 = new Run();
            superN3.AddText("n");
            superN3.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Superscript;

            Paragraph paragraph3 = new Paragraph();
            paragraph3.Add(runX);
            paragraph3.Add(superN1);
            paragraph3.Add(runPlus);
            paragraph3.Add(superN2);
            paragraph3.Add(runEquals);
            paragraph3.Add(superN3);

            doc.Body.Add(paragraph1);
            doc.Body.Add(paragraph2);
            doc.Body.Add(paragraph3);

            doc.Save("c:\\test\\output.docx", true);
        }
