Default Cant seem to get this to work

Problem is I have some data I need in fractions. but when I copy the
fraction data into a text field it loses its number formatting and
turns back into decimal form.

I'll copy some real data from my spreadsheet so u can see whats going
on. *This is what I see after I put the fractions from column H4 L4 to
the end of text in column N4 'Widget'

H4 L4 N4
9 1/4 19 7/8 Widget 19.875" x 9.25"

I have thousands of entries so I don't want to do this by hand.. I've
tried everything I know to copy the fractions over, but no luck.
Someone wrote a UDF function earlier, but it didn't exactly work for
me. I'm trying to just simplify the steps by putting in the column H
and L which have the decimal form and I converted them to fractions..
My raw data is all in decimal so I have to work from that to get it to
fractions.

What I need my final data to look like is..

N4 Widget 19 7/8" x 9 1/4"

It would also be acceptable if the data ended up like

N4 Widget 19 7/8 x 9 1/4 inches

The quotes for inches is best, but if not possible I can use the word
inches too.



Thank You
