Word changes 1/2, 1/4 and 3/4 as fractions in autocorrect, but not
Can anything be done? the "1/3" sticks out like a sore thumb. Thanks.

One Option: Use the Windows Character Map (in your Accessories or
AccessoriesSystem Tools folder) where you'll find that many fonts include fraction characters that are simply not converted by Word's AutoFormat As You Type feature. Copy what you need into your doc. You can also set them up as AutoCorrect entries if you use them frequently. Building your own is well documented he http://word.mvps.org/FAQS/Formatting/CreateFraction.htm But why reinvent the wheel if you don't have to?:-) HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 1/11/08 9:16 AM, in article , "sheana" wrote: Can anything be done? the "1/3" sticks out like a sore thumb.

What is also well documented in that article is the use of additional
fraction characters from the default paragraph font, and the suggestion is made that they be saved as AutoCorrect entries. In fact, that is how the article begins, long before it tells how "build your own." I suggest you revisit the article! -- Suzanne S.
