When I code the TM (Trademark) special character entity &#8482; it
appears correctly as superscript. But when I code the (R) (Registered)
special character entity &reg; it is the same size as the preceding
text.

How do I enter the special character entity for Registered and have it
appear as superscript?

Hello B_Griffin,

Try the following:

<html>
     <head>
          <title>Example of Formatting Text</title>
     </head>
     <body>
          <p>This <sup>word&reg</sup> is Super-Script</p>
     </body>
</html>

in a file and view it with your favorite browser. I tested this example in:
  Internet Explorer
  Netscape
  Safari
and should show something like:
  This ^^word(r)^^ is Super-Script
where "word" and the registered mark will be in a smaller font / above
the normal line of text.

To find this answer, I tried the phrase:
  html superscript
as a search and selected:
  http://www.2kweb.net/html-tutorial/text-fmts/superscript/
to get the example code (plus your use of &reg for the special character).

Let me know in a clarification request if this does not work for you
or you need additional help related to this question.

b_griffin...

I couldn't find any code for making it a superscript.
I'm not sure that such a code exists.

Thanks for your attempt. I'm still puzzled though... Seems like there
should be a way.
