There are two ways to raise or lower text in relation to adjacent text:
Make 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.
Select one or more characters you want to raise or lower.
Click the Text tab at the top of the sidebar on the right, then click the Style button near the top of the sidebar.
If you don’t see a sidebar, or the sidebar doesn’t have a Text tab, click 
in the toolbar.
In the Font section, click 
, click the Baseline pop-up menu, then choose Superscript or Subscript.
If you want to continue typing regular text right after the superscript or subscript, click directly after the superscript or subscript character, click in the sidebar, click the Baseline pop-up menu, then choose Default.
You can also use keyboard shortcuts to quickly apply superscript or subscript to selected text. For superscript, press Control-Shift-Command-Plus Sign (+). For subscript, press Control-Command-Minus Sign (-).
If you want to make text higher or lower than the text next to it without changing its size, adjust its baseline shift.
