I have MS word 2003 set up that it automatically formats fractions such as
1/4 and 1/2. However, when I type in 1/8, the auto format does not work.
How can I make the 1/8 look like the other fractions, ie. 1/4 and 1/2?

Thanks in advance

I am having the same problem and I have tried everything I know what to do
to change it. Would really like some help with this problem. I am creating
recipe cards and all of the fractions should look alike. Would appreciate any
help!!!!!

This question was answered twice on the third! Both answers offer viable
solutions. There is a variety of possibilities - see:
