Making text superscript or subscript

You can make text higher (superscript) or lower (subscript) in relation to other text on a text line—for example, to create a number that looks like a footnote indicator.

To make text superscript or subscript:

  1. Select the text you want to change by dragging to highlight it, or click in a text box where you want to type new text.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • Choose Format > Font > Baseline, and then choose Superscript or Subscript to raise or lower the text and make it smaller. To raise or lower the text without making it smaller, choose Raise or Lower.

    • Press Control-Command-Plus Sign (+) to raise the text and make it smaller. Press Control-Command-Minus Sign (-) to lower the text and make it smaller.

To restore text to the same baseline and size as the surrounding text, choose Format > Font > Baseline > Default.
