Change default sub/superscript size?

[Guest]

Is there a way to change options so that subscripting or superscripting a
character does not change its size from that of the underlying font? I can
see that I could increase the character's size along with sub/superscripting
it, so that it ends up the same size as the underlying font, but I would
rather change one global option to avoid a size change. I suppose I could
change my sub/superscripting Style so that it concomitantly changes the font
size; if so, is there a known formula for the size that Word 2003 makes a
sub/superscript character, so that I can assign the correct size to the
Style? (I could also use Format > Font > Character Spacing > Position instead
of sub/superscripting if I have no better alternative.) Thanks in advance for
advice.

Note that the "Position" (Character Spacing tab of Format | Font) can be
stored in a character style, which allows you to easily apply it.

However, if you don't want to use that formatting, you can use an EQ
field instead. For example: { EQ \s \up3(x) } raises the "x" 3 pt above
the baseline.

To insert the field, you can press Ctrl+F9; then type the code. Press F9
to update. To show/hide field codes, press Alt+F9.
