But this is not a good work-around as it requires manually selecting and changing every instance.

If, on the other hand, I highlight the relevant super/sub-script and then go to Format -> Character and change the relevant font size, I get the desired outcome. When I change these settings, the preview that is given at the bottom looks exactly how I want it to - but when I click Apply and then type text into the document, no changes have taken effect. This is the method that is described in the LibreOffice writer guide as it states that these setting change the behaviour of the super/sub-scripts when selected with CTRL+SHIFT P or B. After we get the cell object mycell is set. mycell ThisComponent.Sheets (i).getCellByPosition (col,row) Note that first arguments of getCellByPosition is column and then row. Typical way of accessing a cell as below. Press Ctrl +Shift+P to make the text superscript, and Ctrl +Shift+B to make the text subscript. Once we get a handle of a sheet using Sheets (subscript), we can access each individual cells using getCellByPosition method. Do one of the following: Choose Format - Character - Position, and then select Superscript or Subscript. I remember from before that I went into Styles and Formatting, then modified the relevant style that was using by making the following adjustment in the 'Position' tab: I changed both the superscript and subscript relevant font size settings to 70%. Select the text that you want to make superscript or subscript. What I want to do is to change the default size of the super/sub-script as the default of 58% relative font size is too small for my liking.

Ok, maybe I wasn't too clear in my first post.
