Hello Ann,
Superscript characters are written on a line slightly above the character
beside them and usually in a smaller font size. Subscript characters are
written on the base of the line slightly lower than the character beside
them. In your example of 23rd, if the r and d are superscript then they
will be slightly above the top of 23. If they were subscript then the r and
d wouldn't extend as high from the base of the line as the 2 and the 3.
Again, if you prefer the regular letters over the use of superscript or
subscript, you can make that choice in Word. Go into the tools menu, use
down arrow until you get to the AutoCorrect choice and press enter. Either
use the tab key to move to the page tabs or use CTRL-Tab to move focus to
the "auto format as you type" page of the dialog box. Use tab key to move
to the checkbox for using ordinals with superscript and press spacebar to
uncheck the box. Use tab key to the OK button and press spacebar to accept
the change. After doing this change the "r" and "d" in the word "23rd" will
be even with the numbers.
Take care.

Thanks, Brian. I had turned off enhanced editing per your original
message, but the superscript message came up anyway. I haven't
intentionally used a superscript. Not sure why JAWS/Word thinks I did.
I re-typed the line, though, and it isn't saying 'superscript'. What
makes Word think something is a subscript or superscript, do you know???
Obviously, I don't. (lol)
Much thanks.
Ann
