How do I superscript Hebrew Letters?

Question

I have both Word for Mac and for Windows. But it doesn't matter. No matter what I do, I can't get Hebrew Letters to superscript correctly because they insist on rendering from right to left. Yes, I know, that's how Hebrew is read. I can read Hebrew. What I can't do is superscript a Hebrew letter and get the superscript to appear to the right of the letter rather than to its left. Is there any way to cause Hebrew fonts to read left to right or any other way that I can superscript a Hebrew letter?

Thanks!

Hello, I hope you are well. My name is Ilyas, I am an independent advisor and I will do my best to assist you with your issue. Below I have written some instructions to superscript hebrew on both windows and mac:

For Word on Windows:

Insert a Text Box:

Go to the "Insert" tab. Click on "Text Box" and draw a text box where you want the superscript to appear. Type Hebrew Text:

Type your Hebrew text inside the text box.

Format Text Box:

Right-click on the text box and choose "Format Shape" or "Format Text Box." In the Format Shape pane, go to the "Text Options" section. Under "Text Direction," choose "Horizontal."

Adjust Position:

Move and resize the text box as needed to position the superscripted Hebrew text.

For Word on Mac:

Insert a Text Box:

Go to the "Insert" tab. Click on "Text Box" and draw a text box where you want the superscript to appear.

Type Hebrew Text:

Type your Hebrew text inside the text box.

Format Text Box:

Right-click on the text box and choose "Format Shape" or "Format Text Box." In the Format Shape pane, go to the "Text Options" section. Under "Text Direction," choose "Horizontal."

Adjust Position:

Move and resize the text box as needed to position the superscripted Hebrew text.

I hope this helps,

Ilyas, thanks. That works. I was hoping not to use text boxes. But I found another solution. I downloaded a Hebrew TTY font. Even though the set has Hebrew characters, it keeps the left-to-right orientation that I need. So that worked. Thanks for your consideration.
