Default How do I make the th small for 9th?

Ctrl+Shift+= is the keyboard shortcut for superscript, and ordinarily the
number-letter sequence that would trigger superscripting via AutoFormat
would be #th or#st or #nd, so I can't see how this sequence could trigger
superscripting *unless* you have the language set to French and the letter
following a number is e.

today I had a curious situation related to superscripting of text.

One of our staff called me over to look at their machine - when we entered

a
Canadian postal code (the format is alphanumeric A#A #A#) the sequence of
number-letter resulted in superscripting.

I checked all the options in auto-correct but did not see any instances
where superscripting would take place automatically. Is it possible this
staff person pressed a sequence of keys to turn on superscripting? We

tried
restarting word and still it happened. any ideas?

Many users should employ Ctrl + Spacebar cautiously, as it will remove

all
manually-applied font formatting. For instance, if your default style

is
Normal, and the default Normal font is 10 pt. Times New Roman, and if

you
have manually formatted to 11 pt. Arial plus superscript, removing the
manual formatting will cause the font to revert to 10 pt. TNR.
Of course, if Styles are being used properly, this won't be a problem,

and
Ctrl + Spacebar will have the desired effect.

You can use the keyboard to superscript by pressing Ctrl+Shift+= to

turn
superscript on, and then press the same keystrokes or Ctrl+SpaceBar to
turn
it off.

You can have Word do this for you by clicking TOOLS in the Word menu

and
then select AUTO CORRECT. In the AUTOCORRECT dialog box, click the
AUTOFORMAT
tab and locate the ORDINALS (1st) WITH SUPERSCRIPT check box and click

it
to
turn that option on. Click OK to exit
