Curious Problem......... helped before

[Oh]

Hi folks, and hi to all who have helped me each time I drop into this
group with a query.
(cant find a 'word-general' newsgroup on this server)

I want to know if I can reproduce what 'word' does when it makes a date
or similar.
I'll elaborate;
Say for instance you are typing in a month, (april or whatever), word then
places the 'date' in ' half-word-size' for you, and usually at the top of
the
month typed in.
How can I get this to happen manually??
Similary, if I wanted to write a 'fraction', something like:::::::::
'one over one zillionth' (1/1,000,000,000,000), how do I manually get 'word'
to do it in the same tiny form as what it does when it autocompletes
a date?

Hope one of you can follow what I'm saying.

thanks.

Hi Oh

Try using an AutoText, if you want to have to press Enter to 'complete' the
text. More info at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm

On the other hand, maybe you need an AutoCorrect, if you want Word to just
turn one sequence of characters into something else. More info here:

Hope this helps.

What you are referring to is superscript (Format | Font | Superscript or
Ctrl+Shift+=), but that's only part of what you need to create fractions;
