is the superscript or subscript in a perdictable spot? What Kind is it...tiny numbers?

I hate to say it because I am a non-advocate of embedded text boxes...but if it is predictable then you could embed a text field with a tiny font suitable positioned in a text box, perhaps

What is the application...it may spring more ideas Jim Broadbent

The application is to put small numbers next to text derived from a formula, and the numbers would have a legend at the bottom of the report, like footnotes. Software Support for Macola, Crystal Reports and Goldmine

You could use HTML formatting for a string returned by a formula:
"_{" + YOURFIELD +"} "
then format the field as HTML.
The only downside of this is the slow formatting. If you've only a few per page it should be OK. Andrew Baines

Well if it is just numbers to put at the beginning of a string of text...can you not just have a small font text or formula field placed at the front of the normal string...then using the sizing/positioning object position it to look like a super/sub script?

Andrew's approach sounds interesting...I think I saw that in a post Rosemary did on bolding within a string of text. Though I haven't tried it yet. Jim Broadbent
