I presume you are complaining about the DEFAULT. If you use Format Character
there is a dialog for sub and superscripts that lets you determine how
far down (or up) the the sub (super) script is positioned. Enter 3 in the
By: box.

As for the size of the characters, that's manual formatting. But if you 
started with 10 point type, I'm not sure you'd want to shrink by 3 points.

Mayby Version 4.0 will allow this kind of customization???
