I am trying to type a recipe using of course, fractions as measurements. 1/2
and 3/4 convert themselves to fraction form, however when I try to type 1/3
it does not convert, just stays the same as you see it here. Anyone else had
the same dilema and solution?

There are a number of fractions available in the Insert | Symbol dialog box
and 1/3 is one of them. If you select normal text on the left and number
forms in the right box you should, hopefully, see them. You can also use the
Character Map - Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Character
Map. Hopefully this will help.

And then you can make AutoCorrect entries for those fractions so you
don't have to go through Insert Symbol again.
