Howdy, Here's one solution: define \newcommand{\emtextsuperscript}[1]{\emph{\textsuperscript{#1}}} and then try using it like: Here are text superscripts\emtextsuperscript{abc123} \emph{Here are text superscripts\emtextsuperscript{abc123}} Good Luck, Herb Schulz (herbs at wideopenwest dot com) -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
