In Insert/Symbols in Word of Office XP professional you can find the
fractions 1/8, 3/8, 5/8 and 7/8 but not 1/3 and 2/3 which are much more often
needed. I suggest that they be added.

The Insert Symbol dialog can only show the characters that are
contained in the font files. Most fonts don't include characters for
1/3 or 2/3. This isn't something Microsoft controls, so you won't see
any fix for this unless all the font foundries get together and agree
to change.

In the meantime, see
