I use the very nice text handling features of FreeHand to do this:  it
has a baseline shift... dialog.  You can select text and shift its
baseline by typing in a number of points.  It works great.  I don't see
how anyone can get by without FreeHand (or maybe Illustrator ...).
FreeHand costs maybe twice as much as MacDraw II (but it's less than
twice, isn't it?), but you get much more than twice the value.

Just one person's opinion.
