Raul, The easiest way to do this is to use the summation symbol from the
Basic Calculations Palette and not the Basic Input palette. As far as I
can tell, inline cells have the ScriptLevel option set at 1 when you
select from the basic Input palette, while ScriptLevel is set at 0 when
you use the Basic Calculations palette. The former ensures that you do
not have large spaces between text lines when you use
subscripts/superscripts in an inline cell. Perhaps others on this group
have more insight into this pesky problem
