If you want a single instance of "th" without superscript formatting, just
Undo
(for example by pressing Ctrl+Z) immediately after Word has changed the format
of text.


This is excellent advice. I have lots of autoformatting options set
because I *usually* want them. Ctrl-Z allows me to selectively cancel
them so that I get the best of both worlds. It works for the ordinals
(1st, 2nd), lists (ordered and unordered), smart quotes, indents, etc.

It also works for autocorrect when Word is a little too helpful.

Set the autoformat and autocorrect the way you usually want them, then
use Ctrl-Z to override.

To turn off the autoformatting of ordinals, do the following: Click Office
button | Word options. In the Proofing category, click AutoCorrect Options. On
the AutoFormat As You Type tab, clear the "Ordinals (1st) with superscript"
option. Click OK twice.
