Find a replace supercript
Carol, if using the superscript function is goofing up the whole line, I'd
just try typing it somewhere innocuous--say, at the very end of the document. Then, just type in the normal letters, click the superscript icon, type in your -1, and then copy what you have typed. Then, go where you want to insert it, and click paste. That way, you won't have to worry about superscripting the entire line. I'm not sure I understood your qeustion, but does that answer it? If not, please clarify. Hope this helps. Paul "Carol" wrote: Hi, How can I replace a combination of normal and superscript text?

Find a replace supercript
Try this:
Type and format the text as you want it to appear in the document (incl. superscript). Then cut or copy the text (to transfer it to the Clipboard). Select Edit Find and Replace (Ctrl+H). In the Find what field, type the string you want to replace (i.e. "Km/seg"). In the Replace with field, type "^c" (without the quotes). Click Replace All. Note that ^c will use the contents of the Clipboard as the replacement string. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Carol" wrote: Hi, How can I replace a combination of normal and superscript text?

I tested my explanation before posting and the result was OK. I just tested
again and I cannot produce errors in the replacement no matter what I do. I don't know what causes the problem for you. Could you provide more details? -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Carol" wrote: Hi again, Paul, I wrote already everything and I don't want to change one by one.

An additional comment:
The problem may be that one could misinterpret my explanation - when you type the text to copy, only the "-1" must be in superscript, not the entire string. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Lene Fredborg" wrote: I tested my explanation before posting and the result was OK.

Find a replace supercript
My guess is that the whole paragraph is formatted as superscript. Toggle the show/hide button (to show the printing characteres - if needed) and select the pi-like symbol ("pilcrow") at the end of the line (this marks the end of the paragraph). Now review your font settings and if superscript is checked, unchecking shd solve yr problem. HTH - Henk Lene Fredborg;2395914 Wrote: I tested my explanation before posting and the result was OK.

Find a replace supercript
Let's start from scratch, since you seem to have misinterpreted previous
answers: 1. Anywhere in the document (at the beginning is easiest), type Km/seg-1 (I don't think you want a space between "seg" and "-1" if it's an exponent). 2. Select just the -1 and format it as superscript (Ctrl+Shift+= is the keyboard shortcut for this). 3. Select the entire expression and Cut it to the Clipboard (Ctrl+X). 4. Ctrl+H to open the Replace dialog. 5. Type Km/seg in the "Find what" box. 6. In the "Replace with" box, type ^c (which is the code for "Clipboard contents"). 7. Click Replace All. -- Suzanne S.

Replacing text with the content of the clipboard does just that. If the
action is causing the paragraph to change to superscript then see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...eformatted.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Carol wrote: Hi again, Paul, I wrote already everything and I don't want to change one by one.

As someone else suggested, if you have inadvertently copied a paragraph mark
to the Clipboard, that could be the problem. Displaying nonprinting characters makes it easier to avoid this. -- Suzanne S.
