Is there ABSOLUTELY no way to format part of a label as superscript??
(or subscript, etc).

Thanks.

None that I know of other than to use separate labels overlapping each other
with one in a different font size.

Access controls only allow for a single Font property and a
snigle Format property. This means that if your chosen font
does not contain the super/sub script characters, the answer
to your question is No.

OTOH, if this is critical to your application and you're are
up to dealing with the complexities, you can use a third
party RTF control to program all kinds of formatting in the
control. There's a free RTF control available at
www.lebans.com
 
Marshall, thanks, your answer makes me ask this question: are there
certain fonts that I can add to Access that DO include super- and
sub-cripts?

Thanks also for the link to the free RTF control. Your qualifier
makes me hesitate: how badly do I really want this capability?
 
I don't think you'll find a standard Windows font like that
because MS has many standards they try to adhere to.

I'm not big on odd fonts, but I would not be surprised if
someone out on the web hasn't created a few like that. Try
searching the web and see if you filter out something
interesting from the few million hits you'll probably get.
[Caution: a badly designed font can cause problems for
Windows] You may also want to find a Fonts Newsgroup and
ask those folks about it.
