Shane, 

Oh, good point. 

The thing is, perhaps because of 1.5.2's behavior, I've grown attached to doing most of this kind of styling via character styles. 

This kind of situation has led me to make two different kinds of feature requests: accumulative character styles (i.e., the ability to add a character style to text that already has a character style and end up with the union of both being applied) and the ability to search using NOT for certain Find Preferences (notably Paragraph and Character Styles, but others spring to mind). 

Perhaps a script subroutine that will create character styles on the fly would be a useful thing to have, so that in this situation, one could create a style that added the baseline shift to whatever style was currently in vogue. 

But if one did that, then that would lead to the request to be able to put a list of character styles in the Find Preference for character styles to be treated as a request to treat them as a logical "OR" (i.e., if the applied character style is in the Find Preference applied character style list then ...) 

But I blather. 

Dave
