    Word 'number - limits' format

    presentation of engineering reports often calls for 'limits' following a number; say +5%, 0%; where these limits would be 'stacked' on top of each other (+5 over 0, %). superscripting +5 & subscripting the 0 leaves the numbers offset slightly. Is there a formatting technique for this; or must I use text boxes?

    Hello,

    can you post a data sample to illustrate the problem? Not a screenshot, please, but a Word file.

    Hi,

    Press Ctrl & F9 to insert a field in your document.

    Type

    eq \a(x,y)
    where x and y are the superscript and subscript numbers, respectively.

    Press F9 to view the field.

    Dawood,

    this is not the first time that you have been asked not to post your question into another member's thread. Please take a good, thorough look at the forum rules before you post again.

    Hello Sweep

    Your field idea looked great, but I cannot make it work in Word 2007.

    I tied { \a (1,2) } and { \a(1,2) } using the required Word field braces, { }. What have I done wrong?
