Superscript and Subscript

“A subscript or superscript is a number, figure, symbol, or indicator that appears smaller than the normal line of type and is set slightly below or above it – subscripts appear at or below the baseline, while superscripts are above. Subscripts and superscripts are perhaps best known for their use in formulas, mathematical expressions, and descriptions of chemical compounds or isotopes, but have many other uses as well.”  –Wikipedia

 

In the latest Vision suite of software you can utilize superscript and subscript through the text editor menu. There are two text editing menu layout options: The Standard Text Menu Layout and the V9 Text Menu Layout.

  • To change between Standard Text Menu Layout and the V9 Text Menu Layout. Click on the Options drop down menu.
  • Place a check mark next to V9 Text Layout or uncheck it for the Standard Text Menu Layout.
