Choose All Caps or Small Caps from the Character palette menu. A check mark indicates
•
that the option is selected.
Note: Selecting Small Caps will not change characters that were originally typed
in uppercase.
Making characters superscript or subscript
You can enter or format type as superscript or subscript characters. Superscript characters
are reduced in size and shifted above the type baseline; subscript characters are reduced
in size and shifted below the type baseline. If the font does not include superscript or
subscript characters, Photoshop generates faux superscript or subscript characters.
To specify superscript or subscript characters:
Do one of the following:
Click the Superscript button

Choose Superscript or Subscript from the Character palette menu. A check mark
•
indicates that the option is selected.
Applying underline and strikethrough
You can apply a line under horizontal type, or to the left or right of vertical type. You can
also apply a line through horizontal or vertical type. The line is always the same color as
the type color.
To apply an underline or strikethrough:
Choose an option:
Click the Underline button

horizontal type.
Choose Underline Left or Underline Right from the Character palette menu to apply an
•
underline to the left or right of vertical type. You can apply an underline to the left or
right, but not to both sides. A check mark indicates that an option is selected.
Note: The Underline Left and Underline Right options only appear in the Character palette
menu when a type layer that contains vertical type is selected.
Click the Strikethrough button

through horizontal type or a vertical line through vertical type. Alternately, choose
Strikethrough from the Character palette menu.
Using ligatures and old style numerals
When working with OpenType fonts, you can use ligatures and old style typographic
numerals in your type, if the font provides them. Ligatures are typographic replacements
for certain pairs of characters, such as "fi" and "fl." Old style numerals are shorter than
regular numerals, and some old style numerals descend below the type baseline.
