I’m hoping that this is a good place to ask this…..I can post a new topic if that’s needed/preferred.
My company has a lot of product names that are trademarked and they, of course, would like to us the “TM” symbol on the first instance of every page for every name…and superscripted. You can imagine how tedious it is when there’s 10+ different products mentioned on a single page like in our catalog.
Is there a simple way to automate superscript of the TM or the Registered Trademark symbols inside the paragraph style? I’m new to GREP and I thought I had set it up right but it doesn’t appear to be working.
I might be missing something so here is what I did:
– Inside the Paragraph Style I’m using, I went to GREP and added a new GREP style.
– In the Apply Style: I went to “New Style”, “Basic Character Formats” and selected “Superscript” under “Position” and clicked OK
– for “To text:” I selected the Trademark Symbol from the menu.
When I start typing using the applied Paragraph Style and drop in the TM under Glyphs, it doesn’t automatically superscript.
Any suggestions? I really hope that there’s a way to automate this because it’s gets to be ridiculous on some of our longer documents.
