Size of superscript and subscript characters relative to Font size
Superscript and subscript characters are too small. If using 12 point font I
want superscript and subscript characters to be raised (or lowered), and the size of 10 point, but they come out at about 6 point and are illegible on the screen. I don't want to change my font size from 12 point, I don't want to use character raising or lowering, I just want a subscript 12 point to look like lowered 10 point. How do I modify the default super/subscript size and position characteristics in Word XP (and Word 2000-3 also Macintosh Word98). |

Hi Bob, You can't modify the real sub- and superscript definitions, which are hard-coded in the program. (Actually, for most fonts 12 pt superscript is exactly the same size as 8 pt regular, not 6.) What you can do is define character styles that include exactly the size and position formatting you want, assign keyboard shortcuts and/or toolbar buttons to apply those styles, and use them instead of the built-in formatting. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
