[RBASE-L] - Re: Subscript characters?

[Javier Valencia]

Karen: Here is a though, you can generate the report using some characters/symbols for H2O such as ~2~. Then, you launch Word with a Macro that runs when the file is opened and does a global substitution of ~2~ for H2O (with the subscript), and then you print the report from Word???

Yes, they do have Micrsoft Word where you can enter a subscript. Karen   Karen,    Do your Users have ANY Editor that they can use to create their text with Sub/Super Scripting?   Do the Reports mix other DB data with the Text that contains the  Sub/Super Scripting on the same page?   If so, to what extent?  Is it just page headings or is it interspersed with the Sub/Super Scripting?
