Superscript in Crystal reports formula

Question

I am trying to make part of array text into superscript inside my formula field. I tried rendering the field as HTML with a tag but it seems it is not supported. Following did not work

numberVar array arr:=["1<sup>st</sup>"];

Is there a way round this problem ?

Answer 1

As far as I'm aware, Crystal Reports doesn't support superscript at all, not for HTML (see here for supported tags if interested), or for RTF.

Off the top of my head, you would need two separate textboxes to achieve this effect, with the "st" text at a higher Y-position than the "1" to get "1^st".

Answer 2

It turns out Crystal Reports works with superscript, only the same way as Visual Studio does. Just copy/paste one of these: ¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹⁰
