Tested now and it works here:
LC 's textshift does exactly what it *can* do (with the primitive typesetting
system of HTML which it uses):
[1] It takes the baseline, moves the chunk relative to that up or down, leaving
the surrounding text on that baseline.
[2] After that it gives the
Right out from my head, can not test at the moment.
The hard way: The direct input of the htmltext should always work (as long as
your on one line with the chunk).

It might be time for a bug report. What you expect seems pretty
realistic to me.

Hi Scott - I think you might be able to do something by manipulating the
margins of the field as well as the textShift.
I did a test with 2 basic fields - one containing the text and the other
the value I wanted to adjust the textshift by...
Contents of fld 1
word1 word2 word3
word1 word2 word3
Thanks Bernd, but if I understand what you're suggesting, I've already
tried this and it doesn't appear to work. Using different textShift
values for the selected text and surrounding text just seems to average
out, always moving text upward, never downward.

Hi Scott,
the following works for me in 7.0.6
textSize 14, textheight 28, fixed lineHeight
e.g.
-
set the textShift of char 1 to - 1 of field 1 to -9
-
then a slider with values from - 9 to - 3
on scrollbarDrag pValue
set the textShift of word 2 of line 1 of field 1 to
Unfortunately, what textShift *should* be doing, and what's it's actually
doing are two different things. Trying my simple test stack in 5.5, 6.7.8,
and 8 dp 11 shows the same behavior, so apparently this has been broken
forever. TextShift should never adjust the lines around a sele

Here's a simple stack that demonstrate
border at the top of the icon and not setting the
textshift.
I think I should probably submit this as a bug since I can easily attach
the stack. Seems like it works of other folks but obviously there's
something in my stack that causes it to not work.

Is textshift supported in 5.0? I suspect it is a property that was introduced
after 5.0.

I'm using the textshift property to align icons inserted by setting the
imagesource of a character in a line of text. All the development work was
done using 5.5 and all worked fine. Recently, I ran the application on 5.0
and setting the textshift had no effect.

Jackie,
Thanks for your input. I assume you mean getting the textShift on 2 or more
characters when you mention a "text run". That would make sense.
Thanks,
