How do I create a macro for an automatic superscript number. I know
superscript 1 is Alt 0185, 2 0178 and 3 0179 but need numbers 4 upwards.
 
Not all superscript numbers are available as characters (in a font).
Instead, type the number you want and then format it as superscript by
applying font formatting. If you create a character style, the task will
be even easier.

Thank you, I should have been more specific with my original question. I'd
normally set up styles/use superscript functions etc., but these documents
will be accessed/amended by multi-users (who don't understand styles) and
probably brought into Powerpoint (where styles won't work).
 
Occasional superscript formatting can be easily applied with a keyboard
shortcut: In Word, press CTRL+SHIFT+PLUS SIGN.

More complex formatting could of course be applied via macros, but there
would be different macros for each application.

Some fonts (such as Arial Unicode MS) contain superscripted numerals 0 and
4-9 in the Superscripts and Subscripts character subset (U2070 and
U2074-2079), but these are likely to cause even more problems unless you
insert them as protected Symbol fields.

Just for clarity, I'd like to add that I recommend making use of styles
rather than macros, whenever possible.

The (v. large) company I work for has its own font which doesn't have the
relevant numbers but I've managed to create the (individual) macros now.
Thank you to both you and Stefan for your help.
 
I'm glad you got it sorted, and thank you for the feedback.
