typing fractions

I want to create math review for my students using the 'old fashioned'
fraction format which I will describe as an 'over under' fraction. For 5/8,
the 5 as the numerator (top) followed by a hortizontal line with the 8
appearing beneath the line.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I suggest getting rid of the gridlines ...Tools/Options/View uncheck
Gridlines, that way your fractions will look much better. Then you can type 5
in cell and 8 in the cell below and put a horizontal line in between by using
one of the preset borders. Then adjust the column width until you get the
desired look.

MS Reference Specialty Font has some fractions like 5/8 with the 5 over the 8

Go to Start>Run "charmap.exe" to see what's available
