How do I put a line above a number in Word (i.e. inlieu of .3333)
Expressed as a fraction, the number is 1/3. That's easy. Expressed as a
decimal, the number is .33333 with more 3s to infiinity. I recall from school that this is sometimes reprsented as .3 with a line above the 3. Can this be done in Word? If so, how do I put a line above the 3? |

Hi viperfin,
Here are three ways to put a bar over another character: €¢ use a field coded as {EQ \x\to(a)}. This solution increases the vertical spacing for the affected line (which you could get around by reducing the fields point size). €¢ use a field coded as { EQ \o (-,a)}. To achieve the desired result, superscript the first character in the field and subscript the second character, which leads to small characters for both (which you could counter by increasing the point size), but this too increases the vertical spacing for the affected line €¦ €¢ use a field coded as {EQ \s\up6(\f(,a))}. Compared to the other solutions, this one has the advantage of retaining the character sizes without increasing the line height. The €˜6 in the formula controls the bar height.
