BD Weisel Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 Publisher 2.5.7 and Windows 10. I was working on a sizable document, highlighting superscripts, and somehow my paragraph text styles became corrupted. Now text and headings were being superscripted. After many hours working on a solution and setting up a superscript character style, I though I'd come up with a fix. But double digit numbers ending in a zero, 10-20-30 etc. do not superscript properly. Numbers 11, 12, 13, etc. do superscript OK. Attached is my superscript character definition and my paragraph text style. At this point I can't think of anything to change/try to remedy the problem. Thanks, Bonnie Quote
kenmcd Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 Book Antiqua on Windows does not have an OpenType Superscript feature. It does have the three old legacy ¹²³ superiors characters. When you applied the Superscript from the Topography panel or the button on the Character panel Typography - that enabled those three (¹²³) superscript characters - because APub does dumb stuff like that - and it left the 0 (zero) alone. Then you apparently applied the Superscript from the Transform panel - and that then reduced the size of all the figures again and moved them up. That looks like this: So turn-off the Typography panel Superscript, and just use the Transform. Then the superscript figures will all look the same. Should look like this: Quote
BD Weisel Posted December 18, 2024 Author Posted December 18, 2024 Using font Arial did fix the 0 problem. I followed your instructions to create a "Superscript" character style and it quite nicely allows me a mechanism to manage my hundreds of superscripts. Thanks for the timely response and solution.
