Fractions need to be entered as such #<spacefraction. For example, "1 1/2"
(note do not use the quotations) will result in the fraction 1 1/2. To
create only the fraction, enter "0 1/2". This results in the fraction 1/2 in
the cell. Hope this helps. Mike

Somebody gave me this symbol //.

Thanks for any help!
