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.

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,
