subscripts and superscripts as separate words for spell check

[jackosullivan]

Subscript and superscript portions of words should be treated as separate
from the terms they modify for spell-checking purposes. Thus,
inches<superscript>3 would pass since inches is in the dictionary.

But in Word 2002 (Office XP Professional) superscripts and
subscripts *are* ignored. In a particular example that I just
tried, latter<superscript>3 was not marked for correction. I
quite often have to use chemical formulae with subscripts
embedded and neither are these flagged.

James,
Thanks for the speedy note. I wonder if my 2003 installation might be
broken -- it went in on top of an Office 2000 install.
