How do I type a fraction in `Word`without using super/sub script
It doesn't mention that a variety of fonts (not including Times New
Roman, unfortunately) include whole sets of superscript and subscript numbers and a "solidus" slash at a steeper angle, precisely for making fractions without using the Superscript and Subscript formats (which merely reduce the size of the basic characters, so that they end up lighter than the surrounding text). Calibri and Cambria include them, for instance (if you're in Word2007). Access them through Insert Symbol; in the dropdown at the upper right, choose Superscripts and Subscripts. If you're going to use them a lot, assign Keyboard Shortcuts to them while you're there.
