Setting the Baseline Style

---

You can specify the following baseline styles:

• Normal-Use this for standard text.
• Superscript-Reduces the text size by about 25 percent and raises its baseline.
• Subscript-Reduces the text by about 25 percent and lowers the baseline.
• Formula-Formats in a way that is appropriate for most chemical formulas, that is, numbers are automatically subscripted. You must, however, captitalize manually.

You can apply several styles to the same selected caption. You can also apply multiple styles to different portions of a single caption.

If the captions you select have more than one style, when you select the text with the Lasso or Marquee tool and select Style from the Text menu, a hyphen appears next to each style (other than Plain) that is applied to a portion of the selection. A check mark appears next to each style that applies to all of the selected text. Choosing a style other than "Plain" adds the new style to all of the selected captions. Previously applied styles are not affected-that is, for example, if you select Italic for a section that is Bold, it will be Bold Italic.
