Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: replace normal font with superscript

Hi,
   Seems my previous reply did not reach all users. I wrote:

In the "Find and Replace" option type in m2 in the "Find" window, then in
the "Replace" window type in m and then, holding down the Alt key, type in
253 then release the Alt key. This places the ASCI code for supercript 2 in
the Replace window.

Cheers,

Paddy

Using Copy (from text) and Paste (into "Find and Replace" window) does not
work either. When you paste the m(2) into the Replace window it reverts to
standard 2. This ASCI workaround seems to be the only option at the moment.
This might be something that they could look at.
