Turning off superscripts in ordinal numbers


Recommended Posts

I am trying to turn this feature off. When I type 23rd, I want 23rd (all the same size) not 23rd (superscript position) like Word prefers. How can I stop this happening? A lot of people seem to like this style. I hate it. When I try to alter it, it returns immediately. In PP X9 correction was possible. I've had to migrate a document from PP to Aff Pub for a colleague to work on with a Mac. There must be some way of stopping this feature.

In Publisher that's an option in the Auto-Correct part of Preferences:

You can turn it off, or as an alternative, when you type "23rd " and it becomes an ordinal superscript, just press Ctrl+Z (Cmd+Z on Mac).
