The JAWS key-f does not give superscript information for me. If I want to proofread a document, I just switch to a proofreading sound scheme to verify that all is as it should be, then switch back to Word Classic. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2018 12:14 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016
Thanks, Rebecca. Meanwhile, I determined that JAWS key+f, the keystroke for format information, will verbalize if a character is superscript. I just twice went through the entire process of adding superscript and subscript to my default speech and sound scheme, both times with the modified version saved and confirmed as my default, but nothing has changed. I still need to go through my ordinals manually and press JAWS key-f on each character I want shown in superscript to confirm that it is. Also, I'm still looking, but I can't find the control in Word for automatically putting letters after ordinals in superscript. Why did MS and VFO make each part of this difficult when it was so simple in previous versions? Rhetorical question. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of Rebecca Lineberger Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2018 11:39 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016 Aha! The answer. JAWS Speech and Sound Schemes Word Classic JAWS will behave like prior versions with Format and Text options switched off, except that subscripts and superscripts are suppressed. So, if you want to know if the superscripts are there, you have to switch to one of the schemes that give you information about font..

The Microsoft support page says: Insert subscript or superscript text Applies To: Word for Office 365,Outlook for Office 365,Word 2016,Outlook 2016,Word 2013,Outlook 2013,Word 2010,Outlook 2010,Word 2007,Outlook 2007,Word Online,Word Starter 2010, Less article Superscript and subscript refer to numbers that are positioned slightly higher or slightly lower than the text on the line. For example, chemical formulas use subscript (H2O), and an exponent is often formatted as a superscript (X4). Examples of Subscript and Superscript formatting Make text subscript or superscript list of 3 items 1. Select the text that you want to format as subscript or superscript. 2. Do one of the following: list of 2 items nesting level 1 On the Home tab, in the Font group, click Subscript. Or press CTRL+=. the subscript command in the font group On the Home tab, in the Font group, click Superscript. Or press CTRL+SHIFT+=. the superscript command in the font group list end nesting level 1 Note: Keyboard shortcuts do not work if you are using Word Online. 3. To undo the formatting, click the Subscript or Superscript button again, or repeat the keyboard shortcut. list end I tried this, and JAWS 2018 does not tell me that the th in 4th, for example is written in superscript. In Office 2010, under options, proofing, I can choose to have superscript and subscript used or not. I've played with settings, but again, JAWS 2018 does not tell me. Perhaps there's a setting in JAWS that needs to be enabled that I don't know about? Smile. Or perhaps Word is ignoring instructions? LOL. I've not asked a sighted person to check.

In previous versions of Word, superscript would be verbalized when I moved character by character. also, when I typed a number such as 14th, Word would automatically make the "th" superscript. Neither is happening with Word 2016 and the current release of JAWS 2018. Even more disconcerting, a sighted assistant tells me that sometimes the "th" or "nd" is superscript, sometimes not, probably because I'm working in a document created in an earlier version of Word. Can anyone suggest how: 1. To get Word to make "th" and "nd" in numbers like 14th and 2nd automatically appear as superscript? 2. To get JAWS to report superscript, and also subscript, in Word documents? I looked at the intermediate settings for anything that might help, but nothing leapt out. Note: Superscript is handled fine in Outlook 2016, which I have tethered to Word 2016. Thanks.
