auto correct
I am using Word 2000.
I need to type a series of fractions -- 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", etc. The 1/4" automatically converts to a real small 1/4" - different from the other sizes. I think "Auto Correct" is doing this, but I do not know how to stop it. How do I make the 1/4" stay the way I type it? |

In Word, click on Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type |
uncheck the "Fractions with fraction character" box | OK. "Aurora" wrote: I am using Word 2000.

Alternatively, you might want to convert all these to true fractions. See
