Under Tools AutoCorrect, on the AutoFormat as You Type and the AutoFormat
tabs check the box "Fractions...." This covers just a few fractions, but should satisfy your needs. "Lynn" wrote: Wanting to type the fraction 'a half'. Used to be this key on a typewriter in the ancient past!! How can I do it now? |

If you have not changed Word's default settings you should be getting ½ and
¼ when you type 1/2 and 1/4. If this is not happening, then go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type and check the box for "Fractions (1/2) with fraction character (½). For other fractions, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/CreateFraction.htm -- Suzanne S.
