Force nonsuperscript character after a superscript character

MDB

Hoping someone has a suggestion. I am writing a document which contains instances of a word ending with a superscript character. Looks like this -- time^2

In preview mode or printing, the '2' correctly appears as a raised superscript character.

Sometimes that word is followed by a comma or a period. When that happens, the comma or period also appears as superscript. This is not good. The only solution I've found so far is to use a space between the word and the punctuation. Also not good.

Does anyone have any idea how to force the character immediately following a superscript character to appear normally, without putting a space between them?

The only thing I can think of right now would be to use <sup> HTML tags.

Don't know why I didn't think of that! Works perfectly. Thanks!
