I want to just use Word and need to know how to type a fraction vertically -
not use the slash. How to I get the fraction to look like one printed in a math book - with the division bar going horizontally and the other operation signs being in proper proportion? |

You can use the Equation Editor, which you access via Insert -- but it
works very differently in different versions of Word, so if that's not enough to get you started, you'll need to come back with more info for further help.

Please ignore my previous post. You have to use the Equation Editor. Go to
Insert, Object, Microsoft Equation, click on Fractions and Radical templates on the toolbar to create the vertical fraction.
