Fractions

[Roger Ellinger]

When I typed 1 1/2, it automatically change the font size for the fraction.
It worked very well for 1/2 , 1/4, and 3/4. But when I typed 4/5 or 2/3,
it won't change the font size. How do I set up the different fractions that
will match the 1/2 fraction size? Hope someone can help me out with this
problem.
Thank you for your attention.

You can't make it look the exact same because those are special
characters. Do an Insert Symbol and you'll find the fractions there.
But there are only special fractions for */2, */4, and */8. To
approximate 4/5, you can set "4" to be superscript and "5" to be
subscript. To achieve consistency, you should not use any of the
special fraction characters and use the super/subscript method for */2,
*/4, and */8 as well.

As a follow up. So how does one tell it to not convert anything?
