Thanks, but it doesn't seem to be there in v. 7.00.56, or I am looking in the wrong place. I brought up a blank email, clicked on View|Toolbars|Customize ~now I'm on shaky ground~ in the layout pane I click on Format?? I don't see superscript anywhere in this. -- Best regards, Maggie "One of the most effective means of temptation that Evil possesses is the challenge to struggle against it." -Kafka Running Windows 7, and emailing with The Bat! 7.0.0.56 Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I copied/pasted these from the Wikipedia article on the orginal indicator [1]. There's nothing for longer sequences like "st" or "ora" in Unicode, so if you want to stick to plain text, you'll need to use something else. In English, one sees things like 1st or 1^st or 1^{st}.
