Setting Subscript Depth in the Equation Editor
Summary: You can specify exactly where subscripts 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 applied by the Equation Editor between the baseline of a character in an equation and the baseline of a subscript to that character. The value you specify represents a percentage of the normal baseline spacing. Thus, a setting of 10% represents a spacing that is 1/10 the normal baseline distance. You can set this adjustment by following these steps:
- Choose Spacing from the Format menu. The Equation Editor displays the Spacing dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
- Click on the Superscript depth box.
- Enter a subscript depth spacing that is a percentage of normal.
- Click on OK.
Tip #927 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 6 95 97 2000 2002 2003
Great Idea! Word is a tool to get what you really want—printed output. This means you need to make sure that Word works as well as possible with your printer, whether it is sitting on your desk or in a room down the hall.
