Hi,
I would like to make a two lined line, in one line.
It is made of one superscript and one subscript word, but how do I align the two words?
Hi
I can imagine situations (i.e. data merge) where keeping text in a single paragraph is needed.
Chad's suggestion would definitely do the trick.
In addition, you could implement GREP styles to your para style, what would give you great control.
This is an example based on the assumption that you want to deal with "xxxxxx by xxxx" pattern:

For something like that, quite frankly, I'd just use multiple text frames. While certainly an old school approach, it's probably a lot easier than trying to do it in one.
Another idea would be to use a table and merge the cells for the larger text.

Bob's right, it's probably easiest to do this with multiple text frames however if you are dead set on doing it with one line of text, here's how:
It's wonky but it gives you what you're looking for. I did an example on my end and have attached a screen shot below.

Hi Bob/Chad. Normally I use multiply text frames, but thanks for helping me out here

Your example is quite elegant, but does that mean you would have to format each paragraph separately for each name? That feels like too much work for a data merge.

Hi Sandee
No need to format each paragraph... I used the very same one
Edit: I guess you got confused because I call my char style "Ted"... I should have call it "who?" ^^

Yes. The character style called Ted confused me.

I agree with Vinny! very simple to play!
… with just a para style! the determinant is "by"!

It's no good if you just show off the results but don't show us your formatting.
These forums are not just for bragging about how clever you are.
I'm interested in your work, not just the results.

… Just a similar way, as Vinny did! No other trick!

Actually your GREP formulas are quite different from Vinny.
We should not have to ask you to explain your work.
This is not a magic act where you don't show how the trick is done. It is a place where people come to learn. And can only learn by seeing all the steps.

I have never seen our resident Jedi brag, Sandee. Obi-wan Kenobi​ has his own style, but is always willing to show his work. I have enjoyed the challenge of figuring it out (or not) before asking.
And he is willing to help the helpless as well as those who come with their light sabers swinging.
But I do agree with you that he is a clever Jedi.

Wise words to live by—even for those of us who are not Jedis!
