Default How do I make a fraction appear as a fraction character?

I am needing to change fractions that are common like 4/7 or 4/13 into
fraction characters for a math paper. How can I achieve this as only those
common ones like 1/2, 3/4 or 1/4 will automatically format in word.

Thank you.

G'day "help4az" ,

Check out the back issues of the magazine at www.editorium.com, I have
written a macro called the Fractionator that does exactly that for
you.
