Vertical adjustment of specific field text?

[Keith Clarke]

Thanks John, textShift will solve my problem very nicely. 

Strange that the Dictionary didn't return anything when I searched on 'superscript' or 'subscript' - as they're both in the description of shiftText?!?

I don't see any Preferences settings to prevent the Dictionary from searching all fields - am I missing a trick here?   
Best,
Keith..
