No, you clearly don't understand me correctly: I had just explained (above) how you do this! You want to find occurrences of non-superscripted TM - even within a word, so to speak - and to superscript just the TM but leave the rest of word as it is? Just do what I suggested: o For Search for, enter TM (no quotes). o For Replace with, enter TM (no quotes). o Put the cursor in the Replace with field and click Format... . o On the Position tab, under Position select Superscript. o Click Find and Replace as necessary to change the text. I suggested that you might *not* want to use Replace All in this context, or you will superscript the letters TM where they happen to occur naturally in the text - such as in the word UTMOST, which would get its buried TM inappropriately superscripted.

Would it be permissible (for me) to change that? Perhaps you haven't looked at the trademark symbol. Its appearance is of the superscripted letters TM, but it is a single character and is naturally raised without having to be given Superscript format. In a temperature, would you use a superscripted letter o or a proper degree symbol? If your client doesn't know the right way to do the trademark symbol, are you allowed to get it right?

Re: [libreoffice-users] replace normal font with superscript

Here are two workarounds: o Search for m2 and replace with m2 but superscripted - exactly as you have been able to do. o Now search for just m and replace with m, but use Format... in the Search for box to set Superscript and the same in the Replace with box to set Normal position. The temporarily superscripted ms will be restored to normal. This relies on there being no existing superscripted ms, of course. Or: o Search for m2 but click Find All. All the occurrences will be selected. o Now search for 2 and replace with superscripted 2 but - here's the trick - click More Options and tick Current selection only. I trust this helps.

We are talking about text (Writer) files here, but regular expressions work there too. Of course, the simple way of doing this would be to search for m2 and replace with m(2) (sorry, this is a text only email, so you'll have to imagine the second one has a superscript 2 instead of a 2 in brackets). When you know the term you are searching for, and know that you want to replace only part of it, you can just use a replacement term that is the same as the search term, with the correct part replaced. The problem is that there appears to be no way in LibreOffice to set a replacement expression that is a mixture of formats - in this case Normal and Superscripted. It's all or nothing.

Re: [libreoffice-users] replace normal font with superscript
When I had to do something similar, I wrote a macro :-) If you do not know much about macros, you probably need to record one, and I expect that the macro recorder is poor enough that the only real solution would be to do the first one by hand, copy the correct result to the clipboard, then record a macro that pastes the value and then searches for the next occurrence. If you are left with a regular m2 selection, run the macro again. if not, well, you are finished.

Re: [libreoffice-users] replace normal font with superscript
Andrew's email was sent as plain text, so displays using whatever font your mail client is set to use. For me (Mozilla SeaMonkey), that's set to Courier New for Western or Unicode text. However, the Content-Type headers of Andrew's email and your reply indicate a Japanese character set is used, for which my client is set to use MS Gothic. I guess you're seeing something similar - MS Gothic does appear a bit more difficult to read for Western text, but presumably it includes Japanese characters while Courier New doesn't. Mark.
