Working with Superscript in Publisher

[artjourney]

I have searched for it on the web and couldn’t find any article talking about it. So I’m wondering if anyone here know of a creative way to work with superscript. Is there a quicker way to, let’s say change the font, color or size of the superscript all at once? In case you’re wondering how this can be helpful: Those designing stuff that deal with manuscripts/scriptures that have a lot of verse numbers. More advanced features would be hiding the superscript via toggling on/off.

If that’s not possible, what about targeting just the NUMBERS and ignore the regular texts and beautify these instead?

Sounds like a perfect use for a Character Text Style, @artjourney. Create it with the characteristics you want, and assign it to your superscript text. Then you can change any of those characteristics, and all the text you've assigned that Text Style to change.

I have tried but can’t seem to figure out how to apply it only to the numbers. Instead it turned everything (text and number) into superscript when I applied the style. I’m not sure if this is even possible to do. Doing it manually by applying the style to all the number is not an option. Having let’s say 20+ verses and 10+ chapters, it’s too tedious to do it even just once. To be able to target groups of digits and style them separately would be great.

You can use Find & Replace, with a regular expression, to find groups of digits and assign a Character Text Style to them.
