Hi Dixie. Haven't seen you around here in a while

Sorry, but that still one of the missing features in Prime. Hopefully we will get it in Prime 4.0, although I think that's still quite a long way away.

Now I use in Prime texts with subscripts or superscripts as a picture.

The bad solution is a solution too!

You can add a math region inside a text block:

    Not easily, but you can use the Windows Character Map to get numeric super and sub-scripts.

    1. Find and start Character Map under Start | Accessories | System Tools

    2. Select the Mathcad UniMath Prime font in the top Font: selection box

    3. In the bottom of the panel select Group by: Unicode Subrange and pick Super/Subscript as the subrange

    4. Now pick any of the numeric super-scripts or sub-scripts by double clicking on it.

    5. Select the Copy button and then paste the character into your text in Prime

    You can keep the Character Map Utility open on your screen to grab more symbols and paste them in.  There are some nice fractions (Number Forms), Arrows, and Mathematical Operators.

    Caution: If you later reformat your paragraph say to all Times Roman, other fonts don't support these unique symbols.

      I'd want the Mathcad file converter to do this automatically rather that just providing a red line in the text box and leaving me to hunting for the substitution.
