Instructions DOCX where "squared" 2 is not superscript

IEEE consistently uses superscript 2 in journals
Comment 2 BogdanB 2020-05-18 04:57:06 UTC
Please send a printscreen from another app that opens this documents and it shows there the number 2 with superscript.
Comment 3 BogdanB 2020-05-18 05:02:44 UTC
This is how the code looks like in this document.

	<li class="block_13"><span class="text_5">Do not mix complete spellings and abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter”, not “webers<span style="white-space:pre-wrap">/m2”.  Spell out units when they appear in text: “. . . a few </span></span><span

And this is the same document if I replace m2 with superscript

<div style="display:table-row" class="block_19"> <span class="text_6">Do not mix complete spellings and abbreviations of units: “Wb/m<sup>2</sup>” or “webers per square meter”, not “webers/m<sup>2</sup><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">”.  Spell out units when they appear in text: “. . . a few henries”, not “. . . a few H”.</span></span></div>

So, I consider that here they have simple text and NOT a superscript. 
Waiting for a printscreen showing that other programms shows there a superscript. Or another prove that there is not a mistake in their document.

Sorry.  Don't have MS Word, only LO.
When the pandemic is over I will go the Library and take a screen shot.  Could be an error in the IEEE doc, but this file is a template for all conference papers so I'd thought they would have corrected something like this.

The example file in Word

It's not superscript in Word 2013, but normal text.

In Word 365

In Word 365 it also shows without superscript.

Thanks to all of you for checking.  I'll tell IEEE.
