= SUMMARY =

Word does not accommodate subscripts/superscripts of a different width than the text surrounding them. This problem can be dealt with by using a character style for the subscripts/superscripts and, in that style, defining the character to be of a different (smaller) font.

When the style is applied, the character position will be shifted to account for the smaller font. Small Caps do not have this problem. To handle Small Caps, Word shifts all text to uppercase and reduces the font size to the next smallest size available within the same font.
