Specifying baseline shift
Baseline shift controls the distance that type appears from its baseline, either raising or lowering the selected type to create superscripts or subscripts.
Default baseline shift (left), and baseline shift of 10 points (right)
To specify baseline shift:
- Select the type that you want raised or lowered.
- In the Character palette, enter a value for Baseline Shift
. A positive value moves horizontal type above and vertical type to the right of the baseline; a negative value moves type below or to the left of the baseline.
