= SUMMARY =

In Mcrosoft Word for the Macintosh, when you apply subscript formatting to text that includes characters with descenders (for example “j,”&quot; g,&quot;&quot; p,&quot; and so on) the bottom portion of these characters (the descenders) may not appear on the screen. However, these characters will print correctly.

If the subscript letter occurs in the last line of a paragraph, the descenders will appear if you format the paragraph spacing to include a 1-point line space after the paragraph. To change the paragraph spacing:


 * 1) From the Format menu, choose Paragraph.
 * 2) In the Paragraph dialog box, under Spacing, type 1 pt in the After box.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
