In astronomical publications that use proper typesetting, the magnitude of an object is written like this:



The m has the same x position as the comma.

How is this done in Indesign CC2014? I'm new to typesetting and I have no idea how to google this. I'd appreciate your help.

You only have to work with the letter m.

Select the letter m and in the character formatting controls make the following:


make the letter m [superscript] or
reduce the [font size] of that m, and increase the [baseline shift] to an appropriate value.
still m selected. reduce [Tracking] to any value you like.
after you finish save the selected m in a [character style] to repeat it so and so.
