How do you get a fraction to take only one character space instea.

[LCost]

I am typing recipe book and would like my fractions to be only one character
not three, i.e. 3/4. Under insert I found some of the fractions but not all
that I need. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You can't do this unless the font actually contains the single character
fractions, but there is a workaround. See

Assuming you don't need 3/17, 5/11 etc

1/4 = Alt + 0188
1/2 = Alt + 0189
3/4 = Alt + 0190
1/3 = 2153, Alt + X
2/3 = 2154, Alt + X
