decidedly simple question
sf <sf[ at ]g_mail.com> 10/30/2008 5:47:56 AM

Using XP and I'm admitting to a brain fart. Word has decided that it
won't convert "th" or "st" into superscript and I couldn't find the
box that should be selected to correct the problem. Word does convert
:) into a happy face. So all is not lost - but I'm perplexed. Why
would it convert one, but not the other and where is the option found?
I looked under Options, but missed it if it's there.

TIA

From the Tools menu, select AutoCorrect Options and then go to the
AutoFormat As You Type tab and check the box against "Ordinals (1st) with
superscript".

Hope this helps.
