    Star How to input a subscript or a superscript?

    (1)I found a subscript or a superscript can not be used in AMS 6.0. What should I do when I have to use a subscript or a superscript?
    (2)Besides, I found it is a very slow operation when I changed a page's name. By the way, my AMS project is about 100 pages.

    Thanks!

    Label, Paragraph and Input objects cannot show sub or superscripts.
    If you need to do that (and, of course do not want to use an image of the text), you should/could use a html file and change fontsize of the relevant letter.
    It is not a very elegant solutioon, but....
    Another way would be to use two text objects and supperpose them next to each other with different fontsize. Tedious, but would visually work.

    To extend the superscript thread

    Anyone working with brands MUST use superscripts TM, ®, etc. or legal review will exterminate you and your seed.

    Two text objects is an adequate solution, given a method for synchronizing the normal, highlight, and click colors for the labels. My quick attempt (3.5 hours total with AMS7) failed:

    On Enter Action for mainLabel:

    tProperties = Label.GetProperties("otherLabel");
    tProperties.ColorNormal = "#00FA69";
    Label.SetProperties("otherLabel", tProperties);
    tProperties.Enabled = true;
    tProperties.Visible = true;

    ...where otherLabel is the superscript label object and #00FA69 is the highlight color of mainLabel.

    Other suggestions appreciated.

    TIA,

    Randy Tinfow
