Typing fractions

[Donna in Idaho]

When wanting to insert symbols I can find 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 & 1/8, 3/8, 5/8,
7/8, but can't find 1/3 & 2/3? How can I type those as fractions. I tried
using the subscript and superscript - but they look funny! Is there any way
to do what I want to do?

Thanks!

Insert, symbol, scroll way down, subject: Number Forms
Not all fonts will have these symbols.

Type 2153,alt+x for one third
Type 2154, alt+x for two thirds

A true type font called fractions-a-plenty will also provide most
fractions, and permit you to assemble any fraction you can dream up.

Thank you to you and Mary!

Insert > Object > Microsoft Equation 3.0.

The situation is much better in 2007 Office, which comes with the new
Vista fonts which take full advantage of the many new features in the
OpenType font standard, including fraction typing.
