Re: Nth number
Thanks, that's what I meant by ordinals, yes. I'm using Insert>Format>Subindex, which is, I think, slightly faster than what you suggest. Anyway, if I grow tired, I'll have to finally learn how to create a keyboard shortcut for this.

Re: Nth number
Thanks, yep, that's what I was doing. Maybe creating a keyboard shortcut for that is the solution; I'll look into how to do it.

Re: Nth number
Maybe a math macro?
