You use special characters to indicate how selected text should be stacked.
■ Slash (/) stacks text vertically, separated by a horizontal line.
■ Pound sign (#) stacks text diagonally, separated by a diagonal line.
■ Carat (^) creates a tolerance stack, which is stacked vertically and not
separated by a line.
To stack characters manually within the In-Place Text Editor, select the text
to be formatted, including the special stacking character, and right-click. From
the shortcut menu, click Stack.
Stack Numeric and Tolerance Characters Automatically
You can specify that numeric characters entered before and after a slash, pound
sign, or carat will stack automatically. For example, if you enter 1#3 followed
by a nonnumeric character or space, the AutoStack Properties dialog box is
displayed by default, and you can change the settings in the Stack Properties
dialog box to specify your formatting preferences.
The automatic stacking feature applies only to numeric characters immediately
before and after the slash, pound sign, and carat. For tolerance stacking, the
+, -, and decimal character also stack automatically.
