Hi all, in past versions of Libre Office, Writer would automatically superscript the th or rd or st after the day in a date. So August 19th, 2012 looked like August 19^th, 2012. Anyone know how I can get that behavior back? I kind of liked it. Thanks, Steve

There is/was an issue in LO 3.6.x.x with this. Bug 32784, Bug 44293.

I don't know if it will be resolved in 3.6.2.x. It works in 3.5.x.x

Apparently a regression in LibreOffice 3.6.1.2. Works fine (for me, on WinXP) in LibreOffice 3.6.2.1 (RC1) – English and French. At the moment: fdo#32784 – fdo#54405.

Identified–that's → Bug 38242 - format ordinal number suffix not auto-correcting (Fixed in LibreOffice 3.6.2). @horst: Maybe, you want to adjust your bug triage... :)

manj_k your are sort of right. It works in 3.6.2RC fine. Tested it today.

Hi,

Please have a look at this link Format ordinal number suffixes. That should resolve your issue.

This is a bug for me too, on two separate machines, both MS Windows, LibreOffice 3.6.1.2. PS Where is the 'commenting tool' we are supposed to use?

None of those solutions work, the closest one was the one with the bug reference even though it talked mainly about Linux. After I changed languages from Default - English[US] to English[US], it would correct some of the ordinal numbers when i opened the document up, didn't correct them as i typed though. I went back to Default-English[US] in my language settings. I will just use the shortcut keys for superscript text until they get on this bug and fix it. Thanks

P.S. - the checkboxes for [M] and [T] in AutoCorrect popup window Localized Options were already checked. As another user said, tried unchecking them, restarting, rechecking, restarting - didn't work.

which version are you using? The fix is only available in a pre release 3.6.2.1RC and 3.6.2.2RC which are not intended for standard use. 3.5.6 is a normal relaese that works.
