Hello,  
Can we format a number as superscript in a style? I want to have an  
original-date publication with the number 1 as superscript before the  
year (it’s like 12005, where 1 is superscript).  
Thank you very much,  
Nicolae

Well you can have  
  
for instance. I’m not sure that sup/sub show up properly in the HTML  
preview. It does in Word/OO though I believe.
