I don't know about 7/8, but 1/2, 1/4, and 3/4 are all done using AutoCorrect
settings. If you're using Word 2003, try Tools - AutoCorrect Options -
AutoCorrect, and make sure a) Replace text as you type is enabled and that
b) entries exist in the list for the fractions you want converted.
7/8 doesn't seem to be one of the default ones. However, if you have a font
that can produce …ž (such as Unicode 215E), you could create an AutoCorrect
entry for it as well.

At one time my keyboard automatically reduced a fraction - like 1/2 or
7/8
to a one character fraction rather requiring 3 spaces. I typed the three
space entry but it displayed a one character on the screen and printed it
out
as only one character.
It no longer does that automatically and now I can't find the place to
change it back to where it will.
Can anyone assist me in locating the place to make this modification?
THANKS!
