Multiline Text - Supersubscript

[rscott7706]

Within mtext, can a supesubscript character be placed? I need to show a number squared or cubed for instance. Or would I have to build a block with metext and the smaller and raised number outside of the mtext?

How can I do subscript/superscript text?

There is no way to do it in standard TEXT. However you can do it in
MTEXT using the stack mechanism. As an example bring up the MTEXT
editor dialog and paste in something like:

Raise to the 3rd^ Power!

Basically the formula is to use the ^ carat symbol along with the same
number of spaces as you have characters to shift up/down. In my example
above I would enter this into the MTEXT editor dialog box, there are
three spaces after the ^, two to balance the shift of the 'rd' and a
third for the natural space between the words. In the MTEXT editor I
would highlight the 5 characters "rd^ ", then press the A/B stacking
button in the dialog. The 'rd' then becomes superscript. To achieve
subscript simply reverse the order putting the spaces and carat first,
for example " ^rd".

If you wanted to underline the superscript or overline the subscript,
simply use a "/" (forwardslash) instead of the carat symbol.
