GREP style to exclude superscripts

[emaste49523827076jaw3]

Hi!  I'm very new to GREP styles but created one so that all numbers in this paragraph style are bolded. 

In many cases, some numbers are superscripted. I do NOT want superscripted numbers to be bold. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi @emaste49523827076jaw3:

Is the 5 a footnote number or did you type it yourself?

In my example below, \d+ formats the typed digits but not the note numbers (footnote or endnote).

And thinking about the alternative, if you are manually adding supercript numbers for some reason beyond footnotes/endnotes, the character style you use to assign the superscript could also change the style to regular without impacting the other digits.

You could add a negative lookbehind to exclude digits if they are preceded by a lowercase letter:

Glad it works for you, but as @Barb Binder wrote, why don't you use footnotes for the superscrpited numbers?
