Superscripts and Subscripts in PSP v7.04

Post by Eugbug »

I have an old version of PSP (7.04)
Is there any way of implementing superscripts and subscripts when adding text? I've discovered a shortcut for superscripts in Windows is to use the key sequence CTRL Shift and +, then type the text. Superscripts then appear ok in the text editor, but when I click on "ok", they revert back to standard text. I usually implement superscripts and subscripts as separate text objects with a smaller font, leaving spaces so they can be placed later, but it's tedious.

Superscript and Subscript are only officially supported in the latest versions of PSP. I don't remember when they were added.

In older versions of PSP, you literally just had to create a new text item with smaller text and manually arrange it on the canvas to simulate superscripts. It was not a feature provided by the text tool.
