I am lousy at GREP and would have done it the old-fashioned way.

1) Search for any letter + two digits + slash and replace with the color red (or another color that wasn’t being used).

2) Search for any digit that is color red and make superscript.

3) Search for color red and make black.

But that’s just me. I mainly work on books and there are so many variations of things, that some GREPS wouldn’t work. Like your example, David (no offense). For a cookbook, the vitamins B1, B6, B12 would be inferior. But if there are endnotes also in the job, those numbers next to a letter would be superscript. That sort of thing.

But I know I definitely need to learn more about GREP and this site is a great place to learn it.
