    I need to change the brackets and its content to superscript. For example find [1] or [6,7] and change it to superscript. Any ideas?

    Sorry–that’s a GREP thing and I’m not good at that.

    Is for a job that is already done or for a new job?

    You could use nested character styles. For example, create a character style for superior. Then nest:

    1) none up to opening bracket
    2) superior character style through one closing bracket.

    That’s all I can think of as I’m not good with GREP.

    Try these, both options are available i.e. through GREP Find/Change and through GREP Styles.

    GREP Styles:
    Apply Style: Superscript Character Style
    To Text: \[\d+[,\d]*\]

    GREP Find Change:
    Find what: \[\d+[,\d]*\]
    Change to Format: Superscript Character Style

    @Dwayne: It’s an existing document

    @Masood: Excellent Masood. The second option works great. Thank you.

    Happy to help :)

    Guz, I suggest trying this through GREP Styles. This will reduce your extra effort of finding and replacing every time the text changes.

    Just give it a try. I have tested it and it works well too.
