Superscript numbers

J

Jann

Is there any way to set superscript for numbers only? I
am working with a lenghly document. Right now, I have to
reset supercript for every single footnote number and
that is so time-consuming with hundreds of footnotes.
Thank you.

Why aren't you footnotes already superscripted? If you are using
Insert>Reference>Footnote the default fomat is already set to superscript.

Anyway, Edit>Replace>More>Use Wildcards.

Type "[0-9]" without the "" in the find what field
Type ^& in the Replace with fiel
Click Format>Font>Superscript
Replace All

Yes, check the "Footnote reference" style, and change it to superscripted if it isn't.
If it isn't applied to the footnote references, you can re-apply it by searching for footnote references (Find what: ^f) and apply
the style (leave "Replace with" empty, and choose the "Footnote Reference" style in "More > Format > Style").

Greetings,
Klaus

Yes, I used Insert-Reference-Footnote, but I see
no "default" box to check off and it does not default. I
followed your suggestion via Edit, Replace, etc. There
is no "More" on my options in Word 2002, but there is the
Wildcard box. When I finished, one number was
superscripted, but as I typed, no other numbers were. I
thought it would automatically superscript as I typed but
it doesn't. Perhaps I need to tell it what I want
superscripted? Brackets? ??

Klaus, thanks, I checked the "Footnote Reference" style
in Toolbar's Insert but there is no "supercript" box to
check off.

Go to Format | Style, select Footnote Reference, and click Modify. In the
Modify Style dialog, choose Format | Font, then check the box for
Superscript. OK out.
