jc2. 'Font:Yu Mincho'. hps48 oad(sup 47(Tōkyō),東京)Here jc is the ruby style, for example jc5 is a vertical ruby text, hps is the font size of the ruby text (48pt in this case) and 47 after up is the distance to move above.
However most of the parameters are optional except the vertical distance.

MS Technet blog:. Seems like you have a solution but in case you find it easier you could try creating a number of tabs in Word (probably centre tabs) at intervals suitable to your larger font (and if you wish adjust the spacing per letter):(which looks like this on screen with tabs etc. Visible)To make life easier you can select the area of the document you are working in and Use Paragraph/Tabs to remove the existing tabs and set default tabs to a centre tabs at a suitable interval for your font size - 0.7cm maybe - and then just type away but with a tab betweeb each letter.So far as I know this works for any inline content in MS Word based on the measure of width used by the software including words or whole sentences including punctuation and symbols, ligatures, arbitrary condensation and overlaps, equations and images. Obviously there has to be enough space between tabs to fit the content.I don't have direct knowledge of whether there are specific issues with Sanskrit fonts to overcome.For example (apologies if I have butchered the Sanksrit that I googled!):The biggest challenge is getting it into other programmes that don't have Word's sophisticated type setting. You can save it as PDF and copy out as a bitmap (which is how I got it into this post) but vector-based files such as WMF and EMF formats lack the type-setting capability to render it properly.
It should print OK thoughIndeed you can take this a long way:For example, sentences, images, equations, and spacing-shifted characters (the actual text is g˜ but the space between the g and the tilde has been kerned away.As I said, perhaps it is messing up Sanskrit in some way I don't understand but basically anything Word can produce inline it can centre over a tab. Try this method if it works for you. Type the second line text in the word. Find and Replace by using Wild card and insert a 'tab' between each character. Copy the text.
Open the Excel. In sheet 1, paste it into alternate rows from row 2. In sheet 2 - create a list of mapping of each characters (hope each text character has only one mapping). In sheet 1, row 1 - use the VLOOKUP function to display the actual text above. Copy the same formula for other alternate rows.
Format the sheet 1 as closely as possible.Let me know if it not meets your requirement. Please describe your purpose better.
Do you want that, when you write the second line, the first line is written automatically? I mean, over every 'S' charactare place a '1', over every 'a' place a '#' and so on?Or what you want is a way to have the phonetic symbols placed over the other characters with the correct spacing?The first case requires programming an ad hoc macro using Visual Basic for Office, and could be very time consuming and requires programming skills.The second can be achieved without the textbox by defining two styles, one style A for the phonetics and one style B for the text. The key is to play with the letter spacing of the two styles to achieve a 1:1 correspondence (the setting is found in the Character dialog, in the advanced tab)You can then create a table with invisible borders and apply the two styles alternately to the rows.You can also consider using a more professional typesetting system such as LaTeX (free and opensource). I don't know if it supports Sanskrit and how you can achieve your purpose, but you can ask for help in the TeX Stackexchange group.
Is there any way to change the default settings for the Word Phonetic Guide?The Phonetic Guide's settings require me to fiddle with them over and over each time I wish to add a phonetic key.The default settings are horrible and difficult to read. I have to adjust character spacing, character font, offset and font size EVERY time I wish to add a phonetic key. Is there some way to fix this? I had the same issue back with Word 2003, but I justcan't take it anymore.There has to be a better way.
