@Artwork Abode: Sounds like you misunderstood the problem. I know how to make a superscript, but can’t apply multiple kinds of formatting within a section marker.

@Dwayne: thanks for the reply. Sounds like there is no easy solution here, and it’s too bad. On other occasions I have wanted to use the section marker to hold text that had an italicized book title as part of it, and again, it wouldn’t work.

Just one of those limitations of the way the software is built, I guess.

I even considered making a customized version of the typeface, with the ® smaller and shifted up, but it’s too much trouble, since this template needs to be used by both the designer and the marketing people at the product manufacturer, who create mini-catalogs on the fly and are probably using Windows machines, which may introduce other problems. So, it looks like updating the headers manually is the lesser evil.

Gotta watch out for those time-saving techniques that actually take a lot longer by the time you set them up!
