Applying baseline shift

You can place characters above or below their baseline without affecting paragraph spacing. A positive value raises the text; a negative value lowers the text. To apply baseline shift to selected text, do one of the following things:

  • Choose Style > Baseline Shift, enter a value in the Baseline Shift field, and then click OK.
  • Use one of the keyboard commands below.

Mac OS

  • Down 1 pt: Command+Option+Shift+-
  • Up 1 pt: Command+Option++

Windows

  • Down 1 pt: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+9
  • Up 1 pt: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+0
