printing fractions
Is there a way to print a fraction the way we write it - numerator positioned
directly on top of the denominator - not 3/4, 1/4, 1/2, etc? -- Thanks and God bless you and yours, Gabriella777_2 |

One quarter is written as 1/4 but the one and four are in a smaller size and are treated as one character if the font has them.

That's what I figured but I thought there was a chance I was wrong.
Thanks for the speedy feedback. -- Thanks and God bless you and yours, Gabriella777_2 "James Silverton" wrote: Gabriella777_2 wrote on Wed, 25 Apr 2007 07:34:04 -0700: G Is there a way to print a fraction the way we write it - G numerator positioned directly on top of the denominator - G not 3/4, 1/4, 1/2, etc? -- The best compromise that I know is to use autocorrect for some of the simpler fractions.

Sorry I forgot to tell you that I found a way to do this fractions thing.
In the Insert menu select symbols. When the box opens, select Font: Palatino Linotype and Subset: Superscripts and Subscripts. Then select your numerator number from the set of raised number list, insert, select the slash, insert, and finally select and insert your denominator number from the other set of numbers positioned low in the box. It sets it up in the space of one normal letter entry. Hope this helps anyone trying to do the same thing. -- Thanks and God bless you and yours, Gabriella777_2 "James Silverton" wrote: Gabriella777_2 wrote on Wed, 25 Apr 2007 07:34:04 -0700: G Is there a way to print a fraction the way we write it - G numerator positioned directly on top of the denominator - G not 3/4, 1/4, 1/2, etc? -- The best compromise that I know is to use autocorrect for some of the simpler fractions.

MS Reference2 has quite a number of common fractions you could use as is.
