Example:

You can type the denominator in a fraction, or the subscript text in a scientific formula.

AutoStack

Opens the AutoStack dialog box, which applies stack formatting automatically to numbers and symbols as you type.

Style

Specifies the arrangement of stacked text or numbers. The options are Stacked, Tolerance, Skewed, and Linear. You can choose the Stacked or Skewed options to format a fraction, or the Linear option to display a measurement.

Align normal text with

For any of the Style options except Linear, specifies how the surrounding, normal text is aligned with the stack. In multiline text, this affects the vertical spacing between lines, as well as the top-to-bottom alignment of the stack with the text.

Size of text relative to font size

For any of the Style options except Linear, specifies the font size of the stack as a percent. To make the stack text the same size as the surrounding text, choose 100 percent. The default is 80 percent.
