How do I, in code replace1/3 with the fraction. I think I need the charactr
code but I don't have the syntax. TIA

Suzanne, thank you very much for the heads up on fractions, but what I am
talking about is a find and replace statement, such as:

..find ="1/3"
..replace = char(2153)

It is the char(2153) syntax I am looking for. TIA

Piece of cake:

1. Use Insert | Symbol to insert glyph 2153 into your document.

2. Select and Copy it.

3. In the Find and Replace dialog, type 1/3 into the "Find what" box.

4. In the "Replace with" box, press Ctrl+V.

5. Replace All.

If for any reason this doesn't work, repeat steps 1 through 3, but in step
4, type ^c (Clipboard contents) into the "Replace with" box.
