I had a similar problem when in college, with algebra. JAWS would not speak
superscript to save my life, so when doing my notes, I used a carot symbol
between the root number, and the superscript. After that, I could do the
equation, and superscript the specific number. Sometimes you have to get a
little creative; even when using JAWS.

Hi, Fernando. Your instructions are absolutely correct. The only difference
is that the English version gives "1st" as the ordinal example. I had it
checked already, and it seems to be working for me.
My confusion arose because I couldn't get JAWS to confirm that superscript
letters were, in fact, superscript. As Rebecca posted, the problem arises
from VFO's decision to remove superscript and subscript from the classic
speech and sounds scheme. Strangely, although I've restored them to my
default speech and sounds scheme, JAWS is still not verbalizing either
format when I move character by character. I have to press JAWS key-f, which
works for me but not for Rebecca. Her solution is Windows key-alt-I, which
at least takes you up to the point where the format changes. So does Text
Analyzer, but on my system, TA just verbalizes a change in format without
specifying what that format is.
Astounding that JAWS users have to put so much thought and work into a
detail like this.

Hi Adrian,
You were told nice alternatives to make JAWS report superscript and
subscript, so it makes no sense I repeat many things others already said.
Regarding Word automatically not changing ordinals, this is controlled by
the AutoFormat As You Type auto-correct options. These options are
per-program basis, so it is normal it is enabled in Outlook and disabled in
Word.
To enable this in Word, go to the File tab, Word Options.
In the Categories list box, choose Proofing and tab to the Auto-Correct
Options.
In the dialog opened by this button, press CTRL+TAB until you reach the
AutoFormat As You Type page. Then tab to a checkbox like Ordinals (1th) with
Superscript and press SPACE BAR to check this. I can't give you the exact
name of this checkbox, since many options of this tab have language-specific
names. In the case of ordinals, in Spanish there are both two specific
symbols and, in practice, many people incorrectly use suffixes like “do”,
“ra”, etc.
Hope it helps!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016
Hi. 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.
