Superscript works in one document and not another

[nicolen94252644]

I have two indesign documents open.

One, the super script reduces the size of the font and moves it into the desired position (like baseline shift).

The other, it does not reduce the size of the font but only moves the character up.

What setting am I missing? It would save me lots of time to have the superscript function properly as I have lots of trademarks and fractions in these documents. To confound the issue, when I open a new document, the superscript works as intended. Unfortunately, I am editing existing documents.

Check the Preferences, which control both the size and the position of the superscript button.

Fractions work best with OpenType fonts. Are you manually setting fractions that are not included in the glyphs in your font? This may help speed up your workflow:
