date numbering?
Office 2k.
Have a .doc that I need to change dates within. When it was originally composed, the dates ie, July 1st, July 23rd, were composed with smaller "st" & "rd" set above number. When I change date it comes out as example uses here. Suggestion/setting please, Thanks, L. |

date numbering?
I assume these dates were typed directly from the keyboard and not inserted
with Date fields. There's an option in Tools AutoCorrect Options AutoFormat As You Type that says "Ordinals (1st) with superscript". When this option is checked and you type a number and the ordinal followed by a space or punctuation, Word will format the ordinal as a superscript. If the option is turned off, or if you type the number and ordinal but then move the cursor away without typing a space or punctuation, the ordinal won't be reformatted. You can select the ordinal and press Ctrl+Shift+= to format it manually as a superscript. If you use a Date field with the code { Date \@ "dd" \*ordinal }, you can select and superscript the ordinal manually without affecting the entire field, but you can't get AutoFormat to do it for you. As soon as the field is updated again, though, the superscript format will be removed. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

You can do this automatically with a (complicated) field construction, or by converting the field to text and autoformatting it using a macro - - see http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |
