Re: Shorthand for Century

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I don't know how common or correct it is, but I have certainly seen it.

I also don't know any easy way to do it, but there is an awkward way .....

Type C21 (or whatever century you want)

Select the C and increase the font size to one that's big enough
(perhaps double the font size of the number)

Select the C and Format > Font > Character Spacing
Set Spacing to Condensed by a number of points that looks good (perhaps
half the font size of the C)

Select the number (both digits) and Format > Font > Character Spacing
Set the Position to Raised by a number of points that looks good
(perhaps a third of the font size of the number)

Enjoy,
Tony
