This article was previously published under Q188912

SYMPTOMS

If you build a slide that contains superscript or subscript text, the top or bottom of the characters may be cut off and may not be displayed properly in the slide show.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if superscript text is raised to the point that it overlaps the baseline of the text above it or if subscript text is lowered to the point that it overlaps the top of the characters of the text below it.

RESOLUTION

To allow the text to build properly in slide show, adjust the line spacing in the text area. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Select the entire text area.
  2. On the Format menu, click Line Spacing.
  3. Adjust the line spacing and click OK. (You may need to experiment to achieve a satisfactory setting.)

    NOTE: If you want to see how the change will affect your slide, click Preview. If the effect is what you want, click OK.
The superscript or subscript text should now be built as expected.
