Hello,
it's possible to write a exponent in a field or a label ?
I have testing with copy and paste from word or page, but it's not possible to change the size in the textformating.
Thank you for your answer.
Best regards
Boris

Hi.
Do you mean to:
put "4^2" into fld "yourField"? (the "^" char, ASCII 94)
And then you can "answer the value of fld yourField"

As with LaTex, Postscript, and other text formatting languages, you can shift the baseline of text in LiveCode as well - see the textShift chunk property in the Dictionary.

Thank you all!
I can make the changes with "^" and edit the field with textShift.

Oh. That is what you meant by "exponent". A superscript.
Glad that both methods will work for you.
