Using superscript or subscript

You can make text superscript or subscript by adjusting its baseline.

To make text superscript or subscript:

Select some text, choose Format > Font > Baseline, and then choose an option from the submenu.

Superscript: Moves the text above the level of normal text.

Subscript: Moves the text below the level of normal text.

Raise: Moves the text up only a little bit.

Lower: Moves the text down only a little bit.

Use Default: Places text at the same level as the body text.

You can choose Raise or Lower repeatedly to nudge the text up or down to the position you want.
