-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft PowerPoint for the Macintosh, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 4.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
If a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation contains text that is formatted as
superscript or subscript, the text may not be printed correctly, although
it appears correctly on the screen. Specifically, one of the following may
result on the printed copy:
 
 - The words preceding the superscripted or subscripted text will print
   above or below the baseline as though the entire line were superscripted
   or subscripted.
 
 - The superscripted or subscripted text will be in the wrong location. It
   will be raised or lowered only slightly from the baseline and not in the
   correct position.
 
STATUS
======
 
The problem occurs when you use version 8.x of the Apple LaserWriter driver
with PowerPoint version 3.0, 3.0b or 4.0 for the Macintosh. Using version
7.1.2 or 7.2 of the printer driver resolves this problem.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
You can replace the superscripted or subscripted text with spaces and place
a separate text object containing the text to be superscripted or
subscripted in the desired position. Drag the new text object up or down to
give the illusion of superscripted or subscripted text.
