How to keep superscript format when generating a table of contents

Hi,

I have a superscript ® in a title in a document that needs to be brought in the Table of contents. When I do generate the TOC, I cannot keep the superscript format in the TOC.

I could cheat and replace it manually, but there has to be a way it stays with those properties every time I regenerate the TOC.

Any idea how?

Regards.

What version of FM?

What font?

There are two separate problems here:

If you are doing the super as a Character Format in the body files, that format needs to be in the Character Catalog for the TOC, or the formatting won't be applied.
If you do that, and get it displayed properly in the TOC, that will break the hypertext linking there.

The solution is usually to do the supers as natively-superscripted Unicode characters, and not Character Formats.
