Maintain superscript format in TOC?

[_Anne_Dickson_]

Hi there--

I'm generating a book in which some chapter titles and headings contain superscript TM or registered TMs (e.g. "How to use Kleenex(TM)," where the (TM) is superscript). When I generate the TOC, the superscript is lost, and the TM just appears in-line with the rest of the words in the heading.

I have successfully generated TOCs before and not had this issue, but I'll be darned if I can figure out what I've done differently this time!

Does anybody know how to carry the superscript into the TOC? (And, I guess, the index as well?)

Thanks much,
Anne

The trade mark character (, which you can get in Windows by holding
down ALT and typing 0153 from the numeric keypad) is already raised and
smaller than surrounding text. It does not need to be superscripted.

In theory, yes. In practice, this is font-dependent.
Some fonts have the TM character superscripted correctly,
others have a marginal (if any) superscript built-in.
Compare Sabon and Ocean Sans, for instance.

Anne, start by checking and settling on the fonts used.
This may solve your problem.

If not, make sure all your files contain a Character Format
for superscript, e.g. "SuperDuper". Apply that character format
to all your TM characters in the headings. If you have that
character format defined also in your TOC file, the superscript
will carry over to the TOC correctly.
