Superscript and subscript numbers both appear as subscripts

[jhkemp]

Hi



When using the subscript or superscript shortcut keys or menu buttons, both appears as subscripts.

The same is true for footnotes (more of an issue in my case): the number referencing the footnote and the number in the footnote itself appears as a subscript, no matter how I format it!

Please help.

There's a bug in one of the latest security updates for the Office 365 edition of Word 2016 (update KB3178647) that's caused this. Uninstalling that update (pending a fix from MS) should resolve the problem.

Same problem can be cosed by KB3178674 allso. Deinstalation is solution.

I have just uninstalled KB3178674, reboot and... live is beautiful again!
In my case, that did it!

Thanks, it saved my live.

Microsoft has now released a fix in KB 3085439: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/...2016-kb3085439

Hello, I am having the same problem on my Mac (Word 2016). How can I fix this?

Since this was fixed on PCs many months ago, I'd be surprised if a similar fix didn't exist for Macs. Make sure you have all the updates installed.
