All you're doing is taking advantage of the AutoFormat As You Type option
that formats "st" as Superscript. You can accomplish the same thing much
more efficiently by using the built-in keyboard shortcut for superscript,
which is Ctrl+Shift+=.

Here is quite unconventional solution:
1. Write an ordinal number, i.e.: 1st.
2. After clicking the "SPACE" key, the two letters behind the number will
"jump" up into the EXPONENT LEVEL, diminishing its size simultaneously.
3. Hit "ARROW TO THE LEFT" KEY until the Cursor "jumps" into the same
EXPONENT LEVEL.
4. Now You can write whatever You want within the EXPONENT LEVEL. However,
now after hitting "SPACE" key, the Cursor jumps back down. To avoid that,
before hitting "SPACE" key, hit "ARROW TO THE LEFT" again, to "jump" to
the
left at least one character of EXPONENT LEVEL so the last characters stay
at
right side of the Cursor. Now, as You continue writing, those characters
will
be "pushed" all time while writing. Jump over them using "ARROW TO THE
RIGHT", then "SPACE", when You want to continue on normal level.
5. The above method may not work within "Insert" Command of the Word.

Have read the posts on Square Root Symbol insertion. No problem there.

My question is:
What symbol or graphic(?) can be used for Square Root and yet keep all
the
following algebraic entries UNDER the upper line so that it is clear what
quantity is to be considered for the funtion? The upper line might be
"stretchable" ?

Some formula have long equations that need to included under the
symbol...much like you'd see in a math book or engineering handbook.
Is this possible or what alternatives might be appropriate?

Thnx, Gatz
