  1. No idea how to describe this – so this would be easy with three lines – you’d just type whatever you need that refers to all three lines on the middle line. But how do you do it with just two lines – if I do a subscript it makes the size of the font smaller and doesn’t go all the way down between the two lines. If you look at the top of these comments where it says NEXT POST. The right arrow falls in the middle of the three lines. If you only have two lines, how would you put the arrow between the 1st and 2nd lines?

  2. How do I alter the size of superscript or subscript in proportion to the normal font? I want to make it closer to the size of the normal font, but raised/lowered. (This can be done in MathType). Thanks….
