Can I create a symbol from a typed fraction such as 2/3 in word 2007?
Good news:
Type 2154 then Alt+X.
Bad news:
But the character for 2/3 doesn't exist in most fonts, and even if it
does, many other fractions don't.
Good news:
More fonts have superscripted and subscriped numbers, and the fraction
slash U+2044 and/or division slash U+2215.
So you can build any fraction using those characters.
Bad news:
There's still a lot of fonts that don't have the necessary characters.
Good news:
You can still build your own fractions using properly subscripted and
superscripted numbers.
Bad news:
That's a lot of work.
Good news:
People have written macros to do the job for you.
See for example Graham Mayor's web site
