Summary:

In Microsoft Word for Windows version 1.0, 1.1, and 1.1a, the spelling checker does not check superscripted or subscripted text.If you accidentally type a document using the superscript or subscript character format (by clicking the + [plus] or = [equal] button on the ribbon, or by choosing Character from the Format menu and selecting Superscript or Subscript in the Position box), the spelling checker does not locate any misspelled words.

To spell check any words that have been superscripted or subscripted, return the text to the normal position by selecting the text, choosing Character from the Format menu, and selecting Normal in the Position box.

Microsoft Word for Windows 2.0 correctly spell checks subscripted and superscripted text. New or updated Microsoft products can be obtained from Microsoft Sales Information Center by calling (800) 426-9400. If you are calling from outside the United States, contact Microsoft International Customer Service at (206) 936-8661.
