Superscript format lost when converting to pdf
Hi,
I have a document title that has the character =AE in=20 superscript format. I have then inserted this title as=20 fields throughout my long document. I face two problems: 1. The inserted field does not take the superscript format=20 of =AE, and instead makes it regular sized. To workaround=20 this, I manually replaced all the occurances of =AE to=20 superscript. 2. However, even after doing that, when i convert the=20 document to pdf, the result i get is a regular sized =AE=20 with a capital P on either side. It looks like this: P=AEP If any of you have faced this problem, i would truly=20 appreciate your inputs. TIA, Abigail |

Use [ALT]0153 to input a trademark symbol, and [ALT]0174 to
produce a registered trademark symbol. Other symbols may be produced with [ALT]character code. This will input the correct superscripted character without using superscript.=20 Larry Randall Certified Word Expert -----Original Message----- Hi, I have a document title that has the character =AE in=20 superscript format.

I think you'll find that the symbol Abigail used in her post *is* character
0174 (or 00AE Unicode). Many users prefer it even more inconspicuous, especially if applied to display-size type. -- Suzanne S.

And it looks small & supersctipted in some fonts, and large & not superscripted in others. I'd try to live with the decision made by the font designer. Re why superscript formatting is lost when converting to PDF, I have no idea. As a work-around, you could try if choosing a smaller font size and raising the symbol with "Format Font Character spacing" works. Greetings, Klaus |

Superscript format lost when converting to pdf
Hi Bob,
Re why superscript formatting is lost when converting to PDF, I have no idea. A font substitution during the process might as well be the candidate here. What confuses me is that it turns into P®P. I don't know enough about PostScript to guess where the "P"s are coming from, but I don't think from Word. Looks more like a bug in the Adobe "printer" driver for PDFs. Greetings, Klaus |

Superscript format lost when converting to pdf
Hi,
I'm using Arial font. As mentioned in my initial post, the problem seems to be due to a combination of two factors, the styleref field that I am using and the ® character. Still haven't found any solution. As a temporary workaround I am de-linking all the fields and manually making the ® superscript, which gives me the intended result for the time-being. However, I'm going the purpose for which the fields are used is lost, as I will have to do a lot of manual work for future releases. Hope one of you can help me out.

Superscript format lost when converting to pdf
I have a document title that has the character ® in
superscript format. I have then inserted this title as fields throughout my long document. I face two problems: I don't think this was ever addressed: What happens if you do NOT use a field; if you just type it into regular text? Also, how are you creating your PDF? |
