Setting Superscript Height in the Equation Editor

Summary: You can specify exactly where superscripts appear in your equations. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

When using the Equation Editor, you can control the spacing that the Equation Editor applies between the baseline of a character in an equation and the baseline of a superscript for that character. The value you specify represents a percentage of the normal spacing that would otherwise be used. Thus, a value of 75% represents a spacing that is 3/4 of the normal font size. You can set this adjustment as follows:

  1. Choose Spacing from the Format menu. The Equation Editor displays the Spacing dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  2. Click on the Superscript height box.
  3. Enter a superscript height spacing as a percentage of the normal font size.
  4. Click on OK.

Tip #926 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 6 | 95 | 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
