I have recently upgraded to 4.4.1.2. In Writer, I now discover that my previously frequent use of “1st” now automatically changes to “1” plus “st” in superscript, which is illegible. I use super- and sub-scripts, but this use is not to my preference.
1> Why, typographically/grammatically? I can imagine this is not preferred, but I’m only writing a draft.
2> How can I change this apparent “default”?
Also, spell check options, etc, do no appear to be accessible from the “Options” dialog. Is there a specific reason for this? How are we supposed to think about where our various option controls are to be found?
