Does anyone know how to do this? First select the O2 and press Ctrl+= to make them subscripts. Now select just the 2. Right-click and select Font. Click the second tab of the dialog (Character Spacing). On the Position line, select "Lowered" in the first box and type "3 pt" in the second box (or click the down arrow of the spinner next to the box). In ordinary body text, I'd advise not making the font size of the 2 any smaller -- subscripting it has already made it almost too small. If you're making a large-type label, you could make it a couple of points smaller than the rest of the text. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top         Return to Microsoft Communities   Notify me of replies
