superscripts to write generations in genealogy

In Microsoft Office Word 2003, I have not been able to find superscripts
higher than the number three. Is this a glitch in the system or did I
overlook the location for supscripts for numbers four and higher?

Superscript numerals 0 and 4-9 are located in the Unicode Superscripts and
Subscripts block. Not all fonts support these characters, so you may want
to use formatting instead.

Gary,

Thanks for the tip, and could you tell me how to find unicode superscripts
and subscripts block?

In Word, click Insert > Symbol and then clikc on the downarrow in the
Subset box. Scroll down to "Superscripts and Subscripts" and select that
entry. If you don't see the characters you want, change fonts and try
again. They're in Arial Unicode MS, but I don't know about other fonts.
If you use these characters frequently, you may want to assign them to
shortcut keys.
