Is it possible to subscript and superscript a single character in Word? I know about using half line spacing to do it, but that requires using a fixed pitch font. We are using Ver. 4.0. Any suggestions are appreciated. John Mireley Department of Chemistry Mich. St. Univ.

In Word on the PC, you first highlight the characters then select Format Character and make the super or subscript selection yes. Of course, whether this all works or not, depends on your printer's capabilities. You did not mention what printer you are using or if you have made a custom driver for it. If the printer does support half line feeds but not reverse line feeds, then Word can print the superscripts first, carraige return, then the normal letters, carraige return, then the subscripts. A half line feed will accompany each CR. Tim. -- Timothy Lange / PC Learning Resource Center / Mathematical Sciences Bldg.
