Inserting Symbols in a Document
I know how to insert the symbols for fractional quantities 1/2, 3/8, 3/4
etc. in a document by using the character map. I would like to be able to do the same for quantities finer that 1/8th such as 5/16, 7/16 etc.. Is there a way to do this? Thank you. |

Inserting Symbols in a Document
Don't know a way of placing more 'obscure' fractions as a single character,
but you can get close using subscript and superscript options in the 'format font' dialog. Cheers, Chris. "Jack Gillis" wrote in message ...
