Hello, all:
I have been using multiple dates in the same cell with the th part like when I use 3th, 4th, etc but saw that only the first date had that part go small automatically but not the second one, etc so I’m not too sure of why that is happening and how to get around that.
Feel free to share your thoughts as in if you need more clarification and many thanks in advance if you reply to this post.
Thank you.
I think you’re talking about superscript th and if AutoCorrection is on for that it “just works for me” (LibreOffice 6.4.5, you didn’t say which version). Check Tools → AutoCorrect Options…, tab Localized Options, Format ordinal numbers suffixes (1st → 1^st). Note that the correction only happens while entering or editing text. Also note it is language dependent so make sure your cell’s font/character language is set to a matching English language.
Yes that’s the right superscript and have LibreOffice 6.4.5.2.
So, I looked in the options and saw it there.
I’m not too sure if I need to use a different symbol other than / which I have used to have multiple dates listed together like 1st/2nd/3rd, etc but the numbers are not consecutive.
Giving exact examples always helps… it does not work for 1st/2nd/3rd because that as a concatenated sequence doesn’t fulfil the rules for AutoCorrection, but it would work for 1st 2nd 3rd with blanks.
If you want superscript nevertheless then you have to apply it manually, edit the cell and select the characters, for example nd, and on the selection invoke the context menu (right mouse click or Shift+F10), choose Character… and on tab Position select Superscript.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts which I was able to get it to work now.
