Setting baseline shift

Baseline shift determines how closely text sits above or below its natural baseline. If there is no baseline shift, the text sits on the baseline. You can use baseline shift to create subscript and superscript characters.

The baseline shift controls are in the Property inspector. Baseline shift is measured in pixels.

Baseline Shift option in the Property inspector

To set baseline shift for selected text:

• In the Property inspector, drag the Baseline Shift pop-up slider or enter a value in the text box to specify how low or high, respectively, Fireworks should place the subscript or superscript text. Enter positive values to create superscript characters. Enter negative values to create subscript characters.
