Getting textShift To Shift Down?

[Scott Rossi]

Thanks Bernd, but if I understand what you're suggesting, I've already
tried this and it doesn't appear to work.  Using different textShift
values for the selected text and surrounding text just seems to average
out, always moving text upward, never downward.
