Gets or sets values specifying wheather the selected text is automatically sub- or superscripted. When using automatic sub- and superscript the font is scaled and moved above or below the baseline with values defined through the font itself. Automatic sub- and superscript can be combined with a user-defined baseline which can be set with the Baseline property.

textControl.Text = "Quarterly results\nRevenue increased by 12%.";
textControl.Select(0, 17);
Selection selection = textControl.Selection;

selection.AutoBaseline = AutoBaseline.Superscript;
Console.WriteLine($"Auto Baseline used by Selection: {selection.AutoBaseline}");

textControl.Text = "Quarterly results" & vbCrLf & "Revenue increased by 12%."
textControl.Select(0, 17)
Dim selection As Selection = textControl.Selection

The property's default value is AutoBaseline.None.

The property returns its default value when the text selection contains multiple characters with mixed settings. The Selection.IsCommonValueSelected method can be used to check for mixed attributes.
