Generally when super/subscripting, only a small portion of a word needs to be changed, and it nearly always is characterwise adjacent to letters who do not have to be changed. Is there any way to alter this behaviour? I honestly don't see the purpose of sub/superscripting entire words, and can hardly see the usefulness of such, even though for bold/italic/underline it is understandable. And as I have to copy/paste a great variety of special characters which I keep on a split table at the top, I often have to go back to re-edit cells. When typing everything in letter by letter, it only sub/superscripts characters after the keypress, not the letters of the words already written.Īs you can guess, this is highly frustrating when large formulas lose their formatting. Ie, lets say I have C(sub1)X(sub2)cos(sup2)|ThetaT + Alpha(sub2)|, and want to change it to C(sub1)X(sub2)cos(sup2)|Theta(sub1)T + Alpha(sub2)|īy pressing ctrl-shift-b (my subscript shortcut), to place a subscript 1 after the Theta symbol, it will subscript the everything except that which is before the space. Whenever you are in the middle of a set of characters, and use a keyboard shortcut to start writing superscipts/subscripts, it alters the properties of the entire word to that of what you have entered. This happens especially often when re-editing a cell (to insert special characters), or to fix a sub/superscript. , and search for CO2 without the subscript 3 All instances of CO2 will now be highlighted, so go Edit > Paste or ctrl/V. So, slightly differently, but based on the same idea: 1 Copy CO2 with the subscript 2 to the clipbioard 2 Edit > Find ALL. The first is that if I write a statement with a large number of superscripts and subscripts, (Ie, taking notes in a math class), quite often things like: C1 cos(w0t + Φ1) will lose all of their subscripts/superscipts. Edit > Find & Reoplace may not be sensitive to subscripts, but the clipboard is.
