fractions

[Jenny]

How do you add a fraction charactor to word so it automatically changes the
fraction to charactor size? example 1/8 changes to fraction size.

Excellent idea... tried it and it works!

Question: If I create a fraction in this manner and send the document to
someone else, will they be able to see it correctly?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Yes. The macro is used to create the fraction. Once it's created, it will
appear the same to anyone.

Follow-up...

Tried the Macro in PowerPoint and Front Page... didn't seem to work.
Something about an "object". Any ideas?

The macro is a Word thing. PowerPoint also has macros, but not that make use
of Word functionality. In this case, if the output is an EQ field, that is
entirely a Word construction, that won't work anywhere else. FrontPage
doesn't use macros at all.

There are ways to create fractions in PowerPoint and in webpages, but not so
simple: 'best method' depends on quite what you need to end up with, how
often you need to do it, and so on.
