MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / June 2004Superscript format lost when converting to pdf
Hi, 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: 1. The inserted field does not take the superscript format of ®, and instead makes it regular sized. To workaround this, I manually replaced all the occurances of ® to superscript. 2. However, even after doing that, when i convert the document to pdf, the result i get is a regular sized ® with a capital P on either side. It looks like this: P®P If any of you have faced this problem, i would truly 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. Larry Randall Certified Word Expert >-----Original Message----- >Hi, [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >Abigail >. 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.

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.

A font substitution during the process might as well be the candidate here. 2cents .bob Signature/"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word 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 Hi Klaus [..] > What confuses me is that it turns into P®P.

I'd take it to comp.text.pdf or a PS related group.

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.

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? > 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: And one other thing: How did you construct the field? |
