I cannot reproduce the problem. Selecting some text, Format.Paragraph.Posiiton
and clicking "Superscript" -> text shows as expected. Of course I tried in OO
2.1 nl. But works fine.

If I understood hrp8264 correctly the report is concerning a special superscript
problem with ordinal numbers in Dutch (see Issue 71930 Additional comments from
hrp8264 Mon Feb 26 09:27:24 +0000 2007). I'm sorry, I thought I left a request
for further information here, but it seems I forgot. So please leave this issue
open until we have more information.

@hrp8264:
Please contribute
- a more meaningful summary
- some information for what this superscript is required - really Dutch ordinal 
  numbers, date or something like that? Unfortunately my knowledge concerning 
  Dutch is not very substantial ;-)
- a step by step instruction how to reproduce the problem

Hello, I'm very sorry if I confused anyone! Just before I sent the message, I 
added a line saying "You can get superscript text manually", but the message 
was already sent. What I mean is, that ordinal numbers are not put in 
superscript text AUTOMATICALLY, although I have selected this feature. When 
typing "1e", which is Dutch for "1st", the "e" remains normal, instead of 
superscript. When I type "1st", the "st" is superscript, although the language 
selected is Dutch, not English. I hope I have clarified my problem.

A general solution is already in Issue 20348 - unfortunately with TM "later".

@hrp8264 
Unfortunately Dutch ordinal numbers are not listed in
<http://specs.openoffice.org/g11n/ordinal_numbers/ordinal_numbers.sxw>

Can you please contribute a more or less complete description of Dutch ordinal
numbers here so that that can be added to the specification?

Dutch ordinals are very simple: the letter that follows the number is always 
an "e", so 1e, 2e, 3e, 40e, 993e etc. As you see, Dutch is a simple language.

Not so fast ... It's not SO simple ;-)
The ordinals are like:
1ste, 2de, 3de, 4de, 5de .... as tested out is Ms Word
The simplified ordinals:
1e, 2e, 3e, .... is also a possibility but it's recognised also.

Dalo is right. There are some people who use long ordinals, although I think 
the short ones are more frequent. 
The idea is simple: from 1-19 the long ordinals get the suffix "de" , except 
for 1 and 8, which get "ste". Starting from 20, the suffix is always "ste", so:
1ste, 2de, 3de, 4de, 5de, 6de, 7de, 8ste, 9de, 10de, 11de, 12de, 13de, 14de, 
15de, 16de, 17de, 18de, 19de. From then on: 20ste, 21ste, 22ste, 23ste etc.
However, I think most people would be happy with automatic superscripting of 
short ordinals (1e, 2e, 112e etc.)
