Yeah, HP screwed up there.  No italics in chart.

ESCAPE (s1U turn on superscript
ESCAPE (s-1U turn on subscript
ESCAPE (s0U turn both off


Nice tip  (forget where I got it):  Go to 6 point when you kick in
sup/subscript, back to 12 point when you go back to normal.

Good luck, it's a nice printer!  In fact...  Apple Works can't use
all its features.

I use the same.  If it's good enough, then leave it.  But make sure
your interface card is not holding you back.
