Make characters superscript or subscript in a non-OpenType font

  1. Select text.
  2. Choose Superscript or Subscript in the Character panel menu or in the Control panel.

When you choose Superscript or Subscript, a predefined baseline shift value and type size are applied to the selected text.

The values applied are percentages of the current font size and leading, and are based on settings in the Type Preferences dialog box. These values do not appear in the Baseline Shift or Size boxes of the Character panel when you select the text.

Note: You can change the default size and position of superscripts and subscripts using Advanced Type preferences.
