# Syntax

set the textShift of chunk of field to pixels

# Examples

set the textShift of last char of word 2 of field 1 to 3 -- subscript

set the textShift of char 12 of the selectedField to -1 -- superscript

# Description

Use the textShift property to subscript and superscript chunks of text in a field.

The textShift is the number of pixels to shift the text down from the baseline, creating a subscript. If the textShift is negative, the text is shifted up (superscripted). If the textShift is zero, the text is placed in normal position, not shifted up or down.

>*Note:* If the field fixedLineHeight property is > true, you may need to increase the field > textHeight to make room for subscripts and superscripts.
