Re: [libreoffice-users] Default Superscript and Subscript size

Hi all,

Actually none of these things are happening Tom. The only way that I can 
get what I want is by selecting every instance individually which is 
just impractical.

Steve, I can do exactly the same as well but once the changes are 
selected there is no difference at all when I start typing. I select my 
desired size and click Apply, then when I reopen the document... the 
changes are still there. However, when I press Ctrl-Shift-P to get 
superscript (or Ctrl-Shift-B for subscript) the size is back to 58%. As 
I said before, I can change it after I have typed it by selecting it and 
then going to Format -> Character and changing it to 70%. I just cannot 
find a way so that whenever I toggle super/sub-script on... I get the 
desired size. I've followed the directions in the writer guide, and this 
seems to me to be intuitively what should be done... but no effect takes 
place. That's why I thought it could be a bug.
