Default How can I change a fraction in Word to a vertical format?

Dear friends,

I am typing up a chapter in Mathematics and would like to present fractions
in a vertical format. That is, I don't want to write "n/4", but want to write
"n", a line under it, and then 4 under the line. (Version: Word 2000)

Could you please let me know if and how this can be done? Really appreciate
it.

Best regards,
Vani Aswathanarayana

You could use an { EQ \o(n,4)} field.

What garfield-n-odie meant to write was an { EQ \f (n,4) } field. For more,
see Word's Help under "Field codes: Eq (Equation) field," specifically the
\f (fraction) switch.

Thanks, Suzanne... yeah, that's what I meant, except that I would
leave out the trailing space before the closing brace...

{ EQ /f (n,4)}

otherwise the space gets included in the fraction.

Right. I was overlooking that annoying "feature" of the EQ field.
