Hello,
The standard is to write nineteenth century with: "xix" in lowercase and small capitals and "e" as a superscript.
Is there a trick to help with typing in Word 2010?
I did think about auto-corrections, but, unless I'm mistaken, formatting is not possible.
Thank you for your ideas.

Hello Telliak :)
After the xix, you can, as mentioned above, use the shortcut CTRL Shift + to go into superscript.
To exit, press Ctrl Space to switch back to normal mode. That's one less contortion.
However, you could set up an autocorrect.
Only select these 2 characters: a superscript e and the normal space that follows. Then:
- File => Options => Proofing => Autocorrect Options => ‘Autocorrect’ tab
- In the “While typing” section, check ‘Formatted text’: you will see your little e and the selected space
- In Replace, you could put a character that you don’t use or rarely use, like the ‘greater than’ symbol >
- Then Add => OK
After that, you can type xix> and the automatic superscript will pop up automatically
And the day you really need the < symbol that will be corrected, as soon as you've typed it, a Ctrl Z will undo the defined autocorrect
Would it save your nerves and your little fingers...? ;-)
