more symbols for super/subscript numbers and letters
Hi there,
just joined and my first post, but i think I will become a frequent visitor. As you know, you can manually insert a superscript 2 or 3 from the insert symbols menu, which then leaves you with superscript that is insensitive to changes via formatting. The loss of sub/superscripts by people inadvertently reformatting documents is something I fight with all the time in my organization with a dedicated document control staff. Is there an add-in or something similar that would add to the symbol collection each letter and number in a sub and superscript format, so that they could be inserted as a symbol and thus be equally as robust as the current superscript 2 and 3 symbols? Cheers, D |

The short answer is no, but you may be able to find a font that has more superscripted characters. I think your best plan is to create a superscript character style and apply it to the superscripted text.

In my experiments the superscript/subscript survives direct formatting changes as well as changes to the underlying style (but not Ctrl + Space or other means to remove font formatting). Can you describe the circumstances under which the formatting is lost?

You could insert them as Unicode characters. Have a look at the following pages:
Superscripts and Subscripts Unicode subscripts and superscripts |

paste values; when entire paragraphs are changed to another style with a defined font setting... there's many but the problem is difficult to address when those doing the formatting (of very large documents) aren't the authors.
