Hi there! I'd be happy to help you with formatting oddball fractions in Microsoft Word.
To format a fraction like
3/16 to look like
1/2, you can follow these steps:
- Type the fraction as normal, with the numerator and denominator separated by a forward slash (/). For example, type "3/16".
- Highlight the fraction you just typed.
- Go to the "Home" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
- In the "Font" section of the ribbon, click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner to open the "Font" dialog box.
- In the "Font" dialog box, click on the "Fraction" option.
- In the "Fraction" section, select the type of fraction you want to use. For example, you can select "Diagonal" to make the fraction look like 1/2.
- Click "OK" to close the "Font" dialog box.
Your fraction should now be formatted to look like
1/2! You can use this same process to format other oddball fractions like
7/8 or
1/16.
