Superscripts / subscripts in DVX2 스레드 게시자: Matthias Brombach

Dear colleagues,
as I am specialiced in technical translations, I often have to use sub- and superscripts (like in CO2, m2, m3 etc.). I already looked up the manual and the Internet, but I didn´t find any help how to set them. Anybody more comfortable with that than me? Thanks!
Best regards,
Matthias

The easiest way, of course, is if the appropriate subscript/superscript is defined as such in your source text. DVX will import them surrounded by codes, and these codes are then included in the target as you work.
Otherwise, you can use CTRL-K to call up the character table (on my German OS it calls itself "Zeichentabelle"), and you can use this to insert them as special characters. These special characters can generally also be defined in the TB. For example, in the German source ...

Otherwise, you can use CTRL-K to call up the character table (on my German OS it calls itself "Zeichentabelle"), and you can use this to insert them as special characters. These special characters can generally also be defined in the TB. For example, in the German source texts I get, the "square metre" is often abbreviated as "qm", and I have a TB entry qm=m², which means that I do not have to enter the superscript manually.
Another option is to remember the four digit code in connection with the ALT key. For superscript 2, for example, it is ALT-0178. You can look up the codes for other symbols in the character table (and I believe you can even define your own codes to some extent).
I don't know whether there is any typographic difference between a superscript 2 created via the character table or ALT key and a superscript 2 created by formatting a normal 2 as superscript. But in practice, I expect that this will not matter in most of the work we do. ▲ Collapse

Thank you both of you, Caroline and Victor, finally I am able to write "CO₂-Emissionen" as it should 
Carlinga.exe seems to work fine and will be tested also for other CAT tools...
Best regards,

You can use AutoText and AutoCorrect for this purpose.
AutoText expands a token you have defined into a larger string of text when you place the cursor on the token and press Control+Shift+F3.
AutoCorrect works similarly, but it is an automated function. When it is enabled, it will check every word you type and, if it matches a common misspelling from the list included in DVX2, it will replace the word with the correct spelling. Since you can edit the existing AutoCorre... See more You can use AutoText and AutoCorrect for this purpose.

Since you can edit the existing AutoCorrect entries and add new ones, you can use this to automatically replace tokens with larger strings of text.
You could configure either of these to replace CO2 with CO₂, for example. ▲ Collapse
