How do I move a line of text up or down in small increments like in

Insert an { ADVANCE } field. Quoting from Word help:
{ ADVANCE [Switches ] } Offsets the starting point of text that follows the ADVANCE field to the right or left, up or down, or to a specific horizontal or vertical position. Note Before you use this field, try to adjust the text placement with the Font, Paragraph, or Tabs command (Format menu). Switches The switches used by the ADVANCE field can cause text to overlap. Text will not print if the ADVANCE field moves text to the previous or next page or beyond the print margins of the current page. \d Moves the text that follows the field down by the specified number of points. For example, { ADVANCE \d 4 } moves text down 4 points. \u Moves the text that follows the field up by the specified number of points. \l Moves the text that follows the field to the left by the specified number of points. \r Moves the text that follows the field to the right by the specified number of points. \x Moves the text that follows the field the specified distance from the left edge of the column, frame, or text box. For example, { ADVANCE \x 4 } starts text 4 points from the left edge. \y Moves the text that follows the field to the specified vertical position relative to the current line position. The entire line of text that contains the field is moved. Note Microsoft Word ignores the \y switch if you specify a location outside the page margins or use the switch in tables, text boxes, footnotes, endnotes, annotations, headers, or footers. To see the effect of the \y switch, use print layout view. Linda wrote: How do I move a line of text up or down in small increments like in WordPerfect?
