I'm looking for a GREP solution for superscripting a Service Mark

[rickburress]

I'm looking for a GREP solution (in InDesign) for superscripting a Service Mark (i.e.., SM). My big issue is I want to remove the space in front, (easy) but not superscript any following punctuation. Ideas?

Check This:

(?=SM) -- Positive lookahead

FindText( )(?=SM)

replace with None and format this as superscript....

Thank you,

But did you test this?

It doesn't find the search criteria SPACE followed by sm

I think I have a working solution with:

Find: SPACE(sm)

Change to $1

Format as Character style with Superscript

Do you see any problems with this?

Hi,

The problem could be is not ^smart enough...

This one seems to be working, restricting to word boundaries:

• Search for:

SPACE \b(sm)\b

• Change to:

$1

• Change format to supscripted Character Style

I've worked-out an EVEN better automatic GREP Style (in my body copy paragraph style):

I type my main word and no space at all with sm at the end, and this GREP style does the work (apply a Character style to Superscript):

(sm)\b

Simple, elegant, effective.
