I didn't read all the information you were linked to. But I wanted to add some info if not covered. The reason the th is different after 111th vs. super script is because when the 111 is actully lower case L's like original typewriters used then MS Word does not super scrip the th. Only when the actual number 1 is used does Word superscript the th. You can see by the memo in the link the 1's are different.

I read my last post. Wasn't that clear. An expert figured out why there was a superscript on some of the type and at other times there was no super script. Old type classes taught the typist to use lower case L for the number one. But MSW doesn't change the th to superscript when the lower case L is used. 111 is made using the number 1. lll is made using the lower case L.
