Use instead the Cambria Math font, which does not exhibit this behavior. By contrast, Keyboard Maestro has no problem activating commands that contain the shift key in other programs. That's a new bug Word 2011 displays a wrong size with a sub/superscript when using Apple's Symbol font. However, if you ask KeyBoard Maestro to activate it, it can't (others have noticed this behavior as well).
MS WORD FOR MAC 2011 SUPERSCRIPT UPDATE
If the installation finishes successfully, you can remove the update installer from your hard disk. E.g., CTRL SHIFT = works fine in PowerPoint if you activate it directly from the Keyboard. In the Microsoft Office 2011 14.7.7 Update volume window, double-click the Office 2011 14.7.7 Update application to start the update process, and then follow the instructions on the screen. There's something funny going on with the shift key in Office. I reassigned it to a new shortcut that doesn't use the shift key, and now it works fine. If the problem happens on all the keyboard shortcut, you can try safe mode to exclude local environment impact via launching a safe mode/boot on Mac OS, to check if issue caused by cache or directory issue with startup disk. Could you please try to add other keyboard shortcut(like CMD+) to see if the problem only happen on "CMD+Shift+=" keyboard? Since you have tried assign a shortcut for Superscript, however, it still didn't work. But neither of these have been switched to activate superscript or subscript. So I did try CTRL SHIFT = and CTRL = in Word, just to check.

[Note, however, that even though the change in PowerPoint happened two years ago, MS continues to post the wrong documentation, telling users to use the CMD key!: Īnd here's the correct instructions, courtesy of Bob Jones AKA: CyberTaz:.

I know that, in PowerPoint (not Word), MS switched from the CMD to the CTRL key for these shortcuts, and these now both work in PowerPoint. The superscript shortcut (CMD SHIFT =) no longer works in my version of Word for Mac. I'm using MacOS 10.13.6 with Office 365 v.16.43 (which is the latest version of Office available for my OS it was last updated in fall of 2020).
