WD2000: Setting Custom Superscript and Subscript Font Size

SUMMARY

loadTOCNode(1, 'summary');

When you apply the superscript and subscript formats to text by using the predefined key combinations, the font size of the selected text is automatically raised or reduced accordingly. This article shows you how to create easy-to-apply custom superscript and subscript formats.

MORE INFORMATION

loadTOCNode(1, 'moreinformation');

The predefined key combinations for superscript and subscript are as follows:

•	Superscript: CTRL+SHIFT+PLUS SIGN
•	Subscript: CTRL+EQUAL SIGN

Because the predefined key combinations cannot be assigned to a specific point position, use the following process to assign key combinations to different character positions:

1.	On the Tools menu, click Customize.
2.	In the Customize dialog box, click the Commands tab, and then click Keyboard.
3.	In the Customize Keyboard dialog box, under Categories, select Format.
4.	Under Commands, select Raised for superscript position or Lowered for subscript position.
5.	Change the number in the Raised (or Lowered) box to the desired scripting height (for example, 5 pt).
6.	Click in the blank text box under Press new shortcut key, and then enter a key combination by pressing the keys of your choice simultaneously.
7.	Click Assign to assign the key to the selected scripting height command.

NOTE: This procedure will not alter the point size of the text in the way regular superscript or subscript does. Use this procedure in conjunction with the predefined key combinations for superscript and subscript by applying the user-assigned key combinations to change the different character positions, and then apply the predefined key combinations for superscript and subscript in order to reduce the point size of the text.
