Leonie Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Sometimes I type a date i.e. 20th of September and it automatically superscripts the 'th' and sometimes it doesn't. I don't want the 'th' superscripted, how can I make them all consistent? See below On the 30th of October 1848 at St Mary’s Church in Donnybrook, Dublin, Ireland John married Maryann Hardy, aged 25, daughter of William Henry (a book-keeper) and Elizabeth Hardy. Maryann was born in Long Melford, Suffolk, England and christened on the 26th of November 1823. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 What application are you using, and what OS? The behavior should be consistent, but might depend on the font you're using, and the various options you've chosen in the Character studio panel or in a text style, so it would help to have a sample document (.afpub, .afdesign) that exhibits the problem.

Leonie Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hi Walt I am using Affinity Publisher on a Mac OS 10.15.3. I have had a look at the character studio and just cannot see anything leaping out at me as being wrong, but then I am a little inexperienced having just left InDesign. Here is a file.

Murfee Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hi @Leonie In the preferences panel under auto correct there is an option to turn off superscripting ordinals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I think @Murfee has found the right preference, @Leonie, and it's a simpler fix than the one I was thinking about. But it still leaves the question of why some of your ordinals were superscripted and some not. Was some of that text pasted in, and some of it typed? The preference that Murfee pointed out applies only to text that is typed, not text that is pasted.

A bit off-topic, but I am curious if there is some reason you are not running the most recent version of Catalina (10.15.7).

Leonie Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Updating the 10.15.7 is on my to do list. Just keep putting it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonie Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 I may have pasted some from an InDesign document and typed the others, not sure now. I have changed the preference now which works fine for dates. Now though all measurements etc are also affected. Is their a way that I can do it for the dates only?

But, if you leave the option set On, then when you're typing it will superscript the ordinals and you can (assuming you notice it) simply Undo (Cmd+Z) and it will go back to what you typed. The trick is in noticing it.
