Answer: how do i get rid of small "th"
Hi there!
It sounds like you're trying to insert the "th" after the date, but Word is automatically making it smaller. This is because Word is recognizing it as an ordinal indicator, which is a smaller superscript version of the letters used to denote the position of something in a sequence (like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.). To insert a regular-sized "th" after the date, you can follow these steps:
That should do the trick! Word should no longer automatically make the "th" smaller. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.

how do i get rid of small "th"
In the AutoFormat As You Type dialog, clear the check box for "Ordinals
(1st) with superscript." The path to this dialog is: Word 2003 and earlier: Tools | AutoCorrect (Options) | AutoFormat As You Type Word 2007: Office Button | Word Options | Proofing | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type In existing text, remove the superscript property by selecting the text and pressing Ctrl+Spacebar. -- Suzanne S.

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. 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. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "hungryjoe" wrote in message ...

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. |

Indeed, Undo might be a useful tool. :-)
