Hi.
I imported some text into my Pages Document and the number six (superscript) appears at the beginning of each paragraph, and in areas where a double space occurs between paragraphs. How do I make it disappear without having to hit the delete key for each one?
Thanks.

When you copy and paste content from Google Docs into Pages, the Google side writes that content into the macOS clipboard. If that clipboard content is partially unintelligible to Pages due to some Google Docs encoding, then your paste can produce martians in your pasted Pages content. Your alternative of downloading content as Word content also works.

Pages is incapable of detecting superscript or subscript numbers in a document, even when one inserts an actual superscript 6 from the character viewer. Instead, paste that text into TextEdit. Select one instance of that superscript 6, and then from the Edit menu : Find : Use selection for Find. Then, Edit menu : Find : Find and Replace.
In the Find and Replace panel the superscript 6 will be in the Find, and you leave Replace empty. Then Replace All, and all superscript 6 are removed from the text content. Now, copy/paste this cleaned text into Pages.
Thank you for responding, VikingOSX. The superscript 6 characters were not something that were in the original text (a Google Doc), but for some reason just appeared once I pasted the original text into the Apple Pages document I was working on. And it didn't affect the entire text I pasted in, just 30 consecutive pages of a random section. I came up with a workaround, where I downloaded the original section as a .doc and then opened it in a new Apple Pages document, and I upon seeing no sign of the 6 anywhere, I just copied and pasted the text from that new Pages document over the text in the Pages document I've been working on. I'm still curious what happened originally, but at least I can continue working. Thanks again.
