Microsoft Word 2010 has a feature that automatically replaces ordinals with superscript. But if you do not want this feature then you can turn off using the option provided as part of AutoCorrect settings.

    I have superscript turned off but Word keeps automatically doing it anyway. Is there a fix for this?

    See AutoCorrect under Proofing. Then, see “AutoFormat As You Type” to change Ordinals AND see “AutoFormat” to change Ordinals. You may have to make your selection in BOTH places.
