Do this exactly:

Press: ctrl+F9
Type: EQ \F(numerator,denominator)
Press: shift+F9

Voila!

I want to just use Word and need to know how to type a fraction vertically -
not use the slash. How to I get the fraction to look like one printed in a
math book - with the division bar going horizontally and the other operation
signs being in proper proportion?

You can use the Equation Editor, which you access via Insert -- but it
works very differently in different versions of Word, so if that is not
enough to get you started, you will need to come back with more info for
further help.

Use the EQ \f field. See the relevant portion of
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/CreateFraction.htm.

You may need to change the font size of the field to get the desired
fraction size.

Please ignore my previous post. You have to use the Equation Editor. Go to
Insert, Object, Microsoft Equation, click on Fractions and Radical templates
on the toolbar to create the vertical fraction.
