Help MS Word formatting question

[Ezteq]

Hiya folks,

I hope you are all well and good?

Just working on a report for school (ha) and have to describe an original document that I viewed while on a visit to the county archives on Friday...omg was an awesome place, I was in library nerd heaven hehe!

The document I chose to review was from the 1600s and is a petition by local merchants and owners of ships to the king (charles I or II) to do something about the pirates who keep pwning them left and right (how cool eh?!!)

Anyway, there is a particular style of shorthand used in the document where the author would write a bit of a long word, miss out some letters then write the remaining letters in smaller script above the line of the start of the word...I don't think I explained that very well, I shall draw a diagram!!

OK the word in the example is...example hehe and hopefully shows you what I'm on about?

Anyhoo could anyone tell me how to do the smaller uppity bit on MS Word please? many thanks

You want superscript text!

Word 2007 says the keyboard shortcut Ctrl,Shift,+ should do the trick

Type it all, then highlight the last bit that needs to be ickle, select format, font and then tick 'superscript' :wub:

Superscript! Fighting crime all over the world in a very predictable way!

Haha, was that guy interpreter? Because it looks like a good example (pun intended) for consecutive notes.

On a side note:

Best program to write essays. Word is cool for taking notes or writing small things, but for every paper you want to turn in, LaTeX is the way to go =)

...*cough* what I know about latex has nothing to do with assignments ^^
