Default need to use ^ as subscript with word over it in superscript

I am transcribing old documents and need to make them as close as possible to
the original.. when a word is missed and a ^ is used is there any way using
subscript for the ^ to put the missed word directly over the ^ using
superscript maybe... ???

Although it might be possible to do this, it would be so much work that I
would suggest this workaround. Go to Format | Font | Underline and select
the wavy/sawtooth underline style. In your legend or reference guide,
explain that this formatting indicates a missing word that has been
supplied.

Well, that would still be a useful technique, but I now see I have been
misreading your post; what you want is to have inserted text above a single
caret (as used in copy editing), not a row of ^^^^ under the inserted text.
I suspect the only workable way to get that effect is to put the caret in
the text and the inserted text in a text box. Anchor the text box to the
caret so that it will move with it.
