format 1/3 to look like the auto format of 1/2

[Octa Winn]

How do I format fractions to look alike? to make 1/3 look like the auto
formatting of 1/2? I could do this with my XP version of Word, but cannot
seem to do it with the Vista version.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/CreateFraction.htm. All the methods
shown there still work in Word 2007, although the way you get to them is
different. For example, the Symbol dialog is reached by clicking the Symbol
button on the Insert ribbon and choosing More Symbols from the bottom of the
dropdown.
