Disabling automatic superscripts in Word 2007

Word 2007 has the nasty habit of turning any ordinal number you enter (like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) into a formatted number where the text following the number is a superscript. Here's how to turn that off.

- Click on the Office button in the upper corner and select the Word Options button from the bottom of the menu that is shown.

- In the left hand pane, click Proofing.

- In the Replace section, uncheck the box next to Ordinals (1st) with superscript.

- Click OK as needed to save your changes.
