adding scientific notation

[rsale]

How do I write in Scientific notation, with numbers in subscripts below element letters?

Mark your text and use the following keyboard shortcuts:

Subscript = "Ctrl" + "+"
Superscript = "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "+"

The "+" have to be the one on the main keyboard - not on the numeric keyboard.

Michael,
When I did that, it worked great on the question view screen. But when I did a preview of the project, the numbers jumped back to regular script. This happened on both the preview project from this slide option and the preview in web browser option.

Thanks for any troubleshooting ideas you may have.

Hi Rachel,

How weird.. I just tried it out and just like you say it doesn't work when you view the project.

The problem/bug seem to occur when using transparent text boxes. If I add sub/superscript in a text caption using any of the predefined text boxes it works fine for me.

I assume that you are using transparent text boxes as well so to fix your problem do the following:

Insert a bulletpoint in your text caption. You can just add a few blank lines between your text and the bullet point and then adjust the size of the text box so that the bullet is not visible.

That takes care of the problem for me and as an added bonus you get much better text quality by adding that bullet point.

Best regards,
Michael
