Raise and lower text in Numbers for iCloud
There are two ways to raise or lower text in relation to adjacent text:
Make words or characters superscript or subscript: This moves the characters higher or lower and makes them smaller, which is useful for adding copyright or trademark symbols, for example.
Adjust the baseline shift: This lets you fine-tune text placement without changing text size.
