Using Microsoft Word, if you type a fraction like ˝ it is automatically formatted. However, when you type a less common fraction (say 11/16), it appears as numerator, slash, denominator, all in the selected font. Most people will turn off the formatting if they have a lot of fractions because it looks better to have none of them formatted than to have a mix. Download “Fraction Module” to obtain detailed instructions on how to create a VBA module in Normal.dot for a far better solution to the fraction formatting issue. Once you create the VBA module, you can simply press the Ctrl, Alt, and slash (“/”) keys to get Word to apply uniform formatting to all the fractions in your document.
