Default superscript to style

Hi.
I have a long document with several thousand of superscript text.
All other text is associated with style. (the superscript is in direct formating).
I would like to associate the entire superscript to a new style to make it more convenient to select, resize text or delete. How can this be done?

I did the superscript with the macro:
Sub Find_and_Superscript()
'
' Macro recorded by Bird_FAT and modified later
' This macro uses the wildcard '*' to look for text
' between to underscores, then italicises the text.
' The While/Wend statement at the end causes it to


' loop until it reaches the end of the document.
'
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = ";*;"
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchWildcards = True
End With
While Selection.Find.Execute
Selection.Font.Superscript = True
Wend
End Sub

You can create a character style that includes superscript formatting. The find and replace superscript formatting with the style you created.

Thanks for your reply but for some resone it does not work for me.
I also tried to select the superscript through the styles manger but probably because I have a lot of superscript it crash.

Could you upload a sample document, as a way to illustrate how the document is set up?

In your sample document, the superscript style has been created as a paragraph style rather than a character style. In this case, when you are finding and replacing character/font formatting, you have to use a character style.
