Default Writing a fraction

Can someone tell me how to type a fraction in Word in which the line would be
horizontal instead of diagonal, and the fraction would be close to the size
of the text?

Default Writing a fraction

You can Insert Symbol, then using the MS Reference Specialty font, select
from a number of fractions in the set. They do have horizontal lines. I'm
not sure where I got this font from, but assume it came with Word.
