Try the format "?/?" for a 1-digit denominator ("??/??" for a 2-digit
denominator, etc.) The "# ?/?" format does the same thing, but allows for
numbers greater than or equal to 1 (e.g. 2-1/4). That was why you got a
"1"
earlier.


With the format "?/?" fractions still reduce automatically. For example, 2/2
becomes 1/1, and 2/4 becomes 1/2.

Yes -- if you want to stop reduction, you have to specify the denominator
explicitly.

Thanks for the info about "# ?/?". That's handy to know.
You're welcome.
