.

an option would be to click on insert -> symbols and pick
your poison. also make sure that the autocorrect option
is set under the tools menu for fractions
under "autoformat as you type". which will make 1/2 look
like a fraction on paper. something to start with

You will most likely want to use the Equation Editor, which comes with every
version of Word. It is not, however, installed by default. To install it, go
to Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs, select Microsoft Office, and click
the Change button. In the first page, select "Add or Remove Features." On
the next page, expand "Office Tools." Select Equation Editor and set it to
"Run from My Computer." Click the Update button, and insert the Office CD
when prompted.

To insert an equation, select "Microsoft Equation 3.0" from Insert | Object
| Create New. If you'll be doing this a lot, you'll want to add an Equation
Editor button to your toolbar. To do this, open Tools | Customize, select
the Commands tab, find the Equation Editor command in the Insert category,
and drag it to a toolbar.
