Hi pavan,

1. That facility is alrady available.

2. u can use CHARACTER format.

3. In that there are two radiobuttons :

superscript

subscript.

4. in se71, goto charactger format

choose any format,

then PRESS THE STANDARD BUTTON at the below.

(only then the radio buttons will appear)

To create superscripts:

Create a new character format : c

In the standard settings set the radio button ON for SUPERSCRIPT.

Then you can assign it to your text as follows:

Your text <c>superscripted</>

Where c is the character format.

Hi Pavan,

On the Standard Settings tab, you find the effects Superscript and Subscript.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

You need to create a CHARECTER FORMAT with desired FONT,SIZE and put SUPERSCRIPT ON.

Then in TEXT Elements Code write like this.

Before that you need to split your date in order to come in you own format.

Example: 21st Feb 2006.

&VBDKR-FKDAT(2)&<K>ST</> &VBDKR-FKDAT+2(8)& ........

K= Charecter format which you creates.

Thanks.

If this helpa you reward with points.

Thanks for the suggestion. it is working but i have an issue. the issue is that the font size i want as superscript is '1' which is not available for that font. What should i be doing in such a case?

Thanks in advance,

hi pavan,

1. Use font-size 6 or 8

2. It will look perfectly fine

and it will look superscript.

You can set the font and font-size in the FONT tab of the character spacing...

If your font doesnt support size 1 then either you must choose another font that supports font-size 1 or use the supported font-size. The decision is yours.

Dont forget to reward points and close the thread.

Hi Pavan,

Then it may depend on your printer settings.

Configure your printer settings in SPAD.

Hi again,

1. In layout, in se71,

when we enter font size 1,

and try to activate,

the system will give error

saying that font with xyz name size 01 is not available !

2. I tried with font 6,

and after taking the printout

it looks PERFECTLY DESCENT !

(Just looks like super script)

3. Font 1, if available,

will be VERY TINY

(not readable)

4. Hence, 6 is quite practical approach.

Even in MS Word,

the super script font is not 1.

its 4-6 only.

5. Marking the character format

as SUPERSCRIPT,

automatically prints in small size.

regards,

amit m.
