You only have to work with the letter m.
Select the letter m and in the character formatting controls make the following:
- make the letter
m[superscript] or - reduce the [font size] of that m, and increase the [baseline shift] to an appropriate value.
- still
mselected. reduce [Tracking] to any value you like. - after you finish save the selected
min a [character style] to repeat it so and so.
