I am typing a recipe but can't figure out (if there is a way) how to change
1/3 and 2/3-- to look like 1/2 , 1/4 or 3/4.

½ cup shortening
¾ cup peanut butter
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar

Can anyone help? Thanks.

In the format menu choose "Autoformat". Then click the options button in the
bottom left of the window. Click on the autoformat tab in the next windown.
Check the box beside "fractions ....".
