Spanish title abbreviations

[logophile]

OK, I know several of the title abbreviations, but am short on a couple of really obvious ones.

I know that Senior is abbreviated as Sr.
I need to know Seniora and Seniorita.
Are the Sra and Sta, respectively?

Just to go forward in the spirit of sharing, I will say that I've also found that :

D is the abbreviation for Don or don.
Da is the abbreviation for Dona or dona.
Vda. De is the abbreviation for viuda de or widow.
Rdo is the abbreviation for Reverndo or priest.

Sr. = Señor
Sr.ª = Señora
Sr.^ta = Señorita

D. = Don
Viuva de = no abbreviation that I know of
Rev.º = Reverendo


<sup> code doesn't seem to work here, but you get the idea...

Sta or S^ta would be Saint (female)

Thanks for the help.

Perhaps the abbreviation for widow is specifically a Cuban thing.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Or maybe I just never saw it.

I forgot D.ª = Doña, of course. Or Dª - all of them can work without the dot.

Well, I went and actually checked it this time:

viudo (widower) - vdo. / v.^do / v^do
viuda (widow) - vda. / v.^da / v^da

Just out of curiosity, what WOULD the SUP-tag do if it worked?

Cool. Thanks so much.

Superscript: ^a = ª

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Superscript: ^a = ª

Aha... put the letters/words in small text a bit raised above the others... and what would put them in small text lowered slightly below the others?

That would be subtext, yes?
Now... I wonder if I can set word to do that on those abbreviations, cause it's not doing it now...

Subscript. _text

You can use those codes when you submit. They don't work here on the boards, but will work fine if you use them in a submission. See the last poem on my signature for an example of both.

This is actually for my novel, so it would be good to have it right in Word. But if it won't work, that's fine too.

Oh, you can do it in Word as well. Select the text to superscribe and use the menus Format > Fonts. Superscript and Subscript are among the special effects.
