Thank you very much. I looked at that screen, but did not see the
fraction

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?
