Baseline Shift Type Up or Down in Mail

Is it possible to change the baseline in mail, for example to make a letter sub- or superscript?

Never saw this problem before. But whenever the Mail app misbehaves for me I quit the Mail app like I describe below then try again.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.

IndCS3 Trademark Symbol baseline shift

Hi
I have inserted "Alt2" the TM symbol into my headings which use font size 48, I have manually changed the TM to font size 14 and forced the baseline shift for the TM to 14, so that it sits level with lowercase text in the heading.
I have created a para style for my headings but because of the different font sizes and baseline shift within the heading, it always shows as an applied stle with an override. So if I alt click on the style it then forces the TM back to font 48 etc.
I dont want to manually reconfigure this for every heading.
Is there a way of setting multiple font sizes and baseline shift within a character/para style or is there something better suited?
thanks
Sue

It's not clear to me whether you're using a trademark glyph (what you
get with ALT 2) or just a capital T and M formatted to look like a
trademark glyph. All by itself, the TM glyph sits off the baseline and
smaller (like a superscript), so I don't understand how baseline
shifting it 14 pts is going to put it level with text. Baseline shifting
it up is just going to move it even higher off the baseline. Maybe
you're baseline shifting it *down* 14 pts? Maybe you're saying 14 pts
brings the TM baseline up to the top of the heading x height?
That said, if you're using the trademark glyph, but you want it to be
formatted differently than the typeface gives it to you, you should make
a character style that gives you your preferred formatting and apply it
to each one of these. Then when you ALT-apply the paragraph style or
right-click Clear Overrides, you won't lose the local formatting. This
is the basic relationship of character styles to paragraph styles.
Paragraph styles are for formatting the paragraph. Character styles are
for formatting individual characters differently from the rest of the
paragraph.
Then you can search for the TM glyph and replace it with the character
style you made. If they show up in different places but you only want to
apply it to the ones in headings, include the heading paragraph style in
the search.

How to fix faux subscripts/superscripts made with baseline shifts

Hello all.
There is a script on the forums used to convert locally formatted styles to character styles – Preserve Local Formatting script and CS4
It is a brilliant script, but as I have unexpectedly found out (and would have found out if I read the post in more detail) is that any "faked" sub/superscripts created with baseline shifts won't work. To quote the other thread:
The script searches for attributes such as "superscript", "subscript", "small capitals". If small caps are faked in the document with capitals in a smaller font, the script will not find them. If superscript or subscript are faked in the document with a smaller font size and some baseline shift, the script will not find them.
Initially I didn't think this would ever be a problem... I thought "who the hell would make a subscript or superscript like that? wouldn't they just click the subscript or superscript buttons?"... unfortunately, no!
I thought a solution would be to make a GREP that could be added to a findchangebylist script that ships with InDesign. First thing to do would be to create a GREP to look for any positive baseline shift and change it to superscript; and a GREP to search for any negative baseline shift and change it to a subscript. Sounds simple... until I tried to implement it, as the dialog won't take a + or - by itself... it has to be a proper value.
Has anyone else faced this issue, and if so, what was the solution/outcome?

@Rob: Perhaps I should have given some background for what I was trying to do.
I have a client who is importing dozens of pages of simple chemical equations from microsoft word and it is in the word file that the baseline shift method of creating subs/supers was done. What my client wanted to do was import the text without losing important appearance details such as this, and bolds/italics, but then be able to assign his own paragraph styles without faux sub/supers returning to a regular style. My procedure to the client was to:
Import said word file into indesign file that contains appropriate paragraph/character styles to be applied;
Run the default "findchangebylist.jsx" to remove any double spaces, tabs etc.
Run a modification of Jongware's "preptext" script that will apply to all text frames rather than the current text frame.
This was working well until we both noticed H2SO4 did not have the numbers as subs, even though the word file clearly did. Closer inspection on the word file showed that the subscript button was not toggled, but the baseline shift had been, hence why the preptext script had missed a key piece of formatting.
With the preptext script, items that had subscript and superscript locally applied to the text would now be assigned "Sub" and "Super" character styles, and from there I agree - the more discerning typesetter could to into the character style and make the apperance of the said subs/supers more appealing. I believe a way of using the opentype subs/supers would be to replace the words SUBSCRIPT and SUPERSCRIPT in the said script to be OT_SUBSCRIPT or OT_SUPERSCRIPT respectively, provided an opentype font was being used for the formatting.
So in this instance, this script serves a rather specific purpose of fixing this particular document, rather than being applicable on a wider scale.
It is also important for anyone working with epubs to note that subs/supers made with baseline shifts (whether applied as character styles or not) will not appear in the resulting epub. Subs/supers made with the subscript/superscript buttons (again, whether applied as a character style or not) will appear in a resulting epub, so this is another consideration (I don't know if this is true if a customised CSS has been applied, but for straight export to epub from InDesign, it appears to be the case). This can be said for other forms of faux styles, such as skewing type to make a faux italic.
@Peter: I agree, there isn't a perfect solution, but for the situation that I have, the script does what it is intended to do.
It should be noted for readers of this post that this script is specifically purpose-driven, and that I would not use this script if a document contained:
fractions made using baseline shifts;
character or paragraph formatting that used baseline shifts;

Rtf baseline shift control

I have setup a specific baseline in a form text field with placeholder text. It seems that the richt text data is linked to the text because when I erase all text and write something new the baseline shift is reset to 0.
What are my possibilities, I need a baseline shift all times, can I run a script that enables a certain baseline shift on all my fields?
I use rich text format.
thanks

Are you usually using a pc? Holding down the control key on a mac and clicking pops up the right-click menu in all software, it's a system wide convention (and a relic from the days Apple insisted that users should only be using a single mouse button).
To get the result you are probably looking for, i.e., overrriding a master page item, hold down *Command* and shift on the Mac.

Baseline Shift Missing?

Hi,
I'm using Illustrator CS5 on Mac OS X 6.6 but can't seem to find the option to move certain text up or down. I tried the leading with no response so I tried looking for the baseline shift but can't find it in Illustrator. I keep summoning the character panel but still no option for it. I tried copy and paste text from InDesign but it keeps creating outlines. Does Illustrator not have a baseline shift property?

Use the flyout menu (small triangle, upper right of the Character panel) and choose Show Options. 4 more windows will appear, one of which is the baseline shift.

Is the ability to center an inline object with a baseline shift gone in Pages 5.0?

In the previous versions of pages I was able to center an inline object such as an imported equation with a baseline shift. I cannot find this in pages 5.0.
It is gone?

Photoshop CS5 - changes in "baseline shift"

When opening old Photoshop CS2 projects in Photoshop CS5, everything looks as it did before. But for about 75% of the text, the "baseline shift" field now has a value other than zero. It seems like I will need to set my "baseline shift" of the affected text back to zero then reposition the text. I would just prefer the "baseline shift" to be set to zero, as I am know I did not adjust this value.
Is it possible that the "baseline shift" value is something other than zero for certain fonts and I just never noticed that the value was not zero before? Or is this an issue of opening a CS2 Photoshop project in CS5?
Thanks,
Angela

Hunt,
I did some more investigating. First, can you let me know in Photoshop CS2 if the "baseline shift" value is automatically set to zero when inserting text? Or, if some fonts have the "baseline shift" automatically set to zero while others are automatically set to a non-zero value?
For my issue, it looks like the value of the baseline shift is directly related to the resolution of the project. For both TTF and OTF fonts, the following was found:
1. For projects with resolution of 72 pixels/inch (my DVD menus which have D1/DV NTSC aspect ratio setting), text has a baseline shift of -3.27pt
2. For projects with resolution of 150 pixesl/inch (my CD and DVD labels), text has a baseline shift of -8.33pt
3. For projects with resolution of 500 pixels/inch (my DVD cases), text has a baseline shift of -2.5pt
The only exception is the text created on a circular path. The baseline shift of this text was always zero.
Is this works-as-designed and something I just did not notice before? Or is this something that happened as a result of opening a CS2 Photoshop project in CS5?
Thanks so much,
Angela

[AS CS3] Another MathType Baseline Shift Question

Hi Guys,
I am using the below script to place MathType Equations into an InDesign File
Basically it searches for tags <<Filename.eps>> and replaces it with a inline graphic.
My question is:
Is there anyway I can get it to read the height of the InLine Graphic Box and then get it to baseline shift so it's centered height wise on the line, instead of the set amount of -10pt that is uses now?
We have to open the MathType Equations in Illustrator to change font and colour to Pantone etc, so they are save back as Illustrator EPS's
Below is the Script:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell document 1
set baselineVar to "Yes"
set countVar to 0
set imageCount to 0
set docPath to file path as alias
tell application "Finder"
set imageFolder to folder (choose folder with prompt "Please choose the folder containing the appropriate MathType files") --"MathType" of artFolder
end tell
activate
set allStories to stories
repeat with s from 1 to count of items of allStories
set theStory to item s of allStories
if class of theStory is story then
set theLim to count of words of theStory
try
repeat with i from 1 to theLim
if word i of theStory contains "<<" then
set theText to contents of word i of theStory as Unicode text
set theOffset to (offset of "<<" in theText)
set endOffset to (offset of ">>" in theText)
set imageName to characters (theOffset + 2) through (endOffset - 1) of theText as string
set imageFolderPath to ((imageFolder as string) & imageName)
set wholeTag to characters theOffset through (endOffset + 1) of theText as string
if baselineVar = "Yes" then
set baseline shift of characters theOffset through (endOffset + 1) of word i of theStory to -10.2
end if
delete characters theOffset through (endOffset) of word i of theStory
tell theStory
tell word i
tell character theOffset
place imageFolderPath as alias
set countVar to (countVar + 1)
end tell
end tell
end tell
end if
end repeat
end try
end if
end repeat
end tell
activate
if countVar = 0 then
display dialog "No Images were found" buttons "OK" default button 1 with icon 2
else if countVar = 1 then
display dialog "1 lonely Images has been placed." buttons "OK" default button 1
else
display dialog (countVar as string) & " Images have been placed." buttons "OK" default button 1
end if
end tell
Thanks

The place command will return a list containing a reference to the placed image. You can then get the bounds of its parent, compare them with the baseline, and change them accordingly. -- Shane Stanley <[email protected]> AppleScript Pro Florida, April 2009 <a href=http://scriptingmatters.com/aspro>

Text type 'HTML' for the Channel 'Mail (Letter)'

Dear Experts,
I'm unable to use the text type 'HTML' for the Channel 'Mail (Letter)' in mail forms, as a result of which fonts like arial and images like jpeg could not be used in mail forms created for letters.
Is there a way to use HTML type or to have more font options, insert JPEG images, tables etc in mail forms for letters?
Regards,
Kathir

In case, if you are using custom excel export functionality, you should use fileDownloadActionListener with in a button.
Here, you could specify the content type.
<af:commandButton text="Say Hello">
 <af:fileDownloadActionListener filename="hello_txt"
 contentType="text/plain; charset=utf-8"
 method="#{bean.sayHello}"/>

Can't down load mail using mail app

Can't down load mail using mail app OS, I already delete the com.apple.mail.plist but didn't work, it can connect to the server and in the progress bar, it appear: incoming messages ex. 39 of 39 but 0kb of transmission. And if I go to the Account info window, I can see the messages on the server, as well as the subject, date received, and the size of them. So, the mail, does connect to the server and see the new mail, but just doesn't download them. I also tried delete the mailbox and create a new one, but the same result.
If I use web mail I can see the mails.
Any clue to fix it.

Rogue video email shuts down Apple Mail, cannot delete

I received a video email from a friend that shuts down Apple Mail within a few seconds of opening. The delete button is grayed out and I am unable to delete. I deleted it from web-based mail, but it still opens with Apple Mail--then shuts down the application. I have shut down the computer and logged off repeatedly, to no avail. (I am also afraid my mailboxes have been emptied--apart from the rogue email.) Have I lost Apple Mail on this computer forever? Can anyone help?

I can't see the font names in the TYPE - Font pull down menu?

I can't see the font names in the TYPE - Font pull down menu? The fonts are in there, but I can only see the name as I scroll past each one - almost like they are white text???

view,
I believe this may solve it:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.
It was first presented in this post #15 by TheUlser:
https://forums.adobe.com/message/6854594#6854594
It has been described on this Adobe page:

It may also depend on the monitor, as it appears from post #29 by Loncar in the same thread.
Obviously, this also influences some other things so there may be a downside to it.

Why do my text boxes keep defaulting to .3 pt raised? Baseline shift

Every time I make a new text box, it defaults to BASELINE SHIFT .3 pt
WHY?

That's how someone set the defaults. Change them with nothing selected.

Baseline Shift?

Is it possible to apply a baseline shift? I am trying to reduce a registered trademark and a rather large headline and need to bump the baseline of the mark up so it aligns properly.

Hi,
Baseline shift as a character-level text attribute is not yet supported.
You can only shift inline page items (e.g., images pasted inside text frames) relative to the baseline by moving them with the mouse, nudging them with arrow keys, or using the "Y" transform controls.
