Find the word "Dr" (with the "r" in superscript) in MS Word, and replace it with "Dr" (with the "r" in normal font)

Question

I am looking for a way to replace all occurrences of "Dr" ("r" in superscript) with "Dr" ("r" not in superscript) in a Word document. Thanks to all.

Answer 1

Word should find the text you want to replace regardless of whether a superscript or subscript is used. For example, if I have H₂O in Word and I search for "H2O" (without quotes), Word will find it:

The same will work for D^r as well. If you're worried about case not matching, you can uncheck "Ignore case" so that the exact case matches:

You can populate the replace section with "Dr" and it will automatically replace the superscripted "r" with a regular "r"

Example using the find feature to find all instances of D^r:

Same file after find and replace was done on all instances:
