The only way I now how to type the following is like this:
9 1/2"
This way there is a space between the 9 and the 1/2".
This means that it is possible for the 9 to be at the end
of one line and the 1/2" at the beginning of the next line
(depending on the viewer's settings). Is there any to
keep it together so it won't ever be on two lines.

I tried it. It doesn't work because a dash, or hyphen,
can be used to split a word between two lines.
I tried it by inserting spaces and running it off the end
of the line, and it split at the dash.

Use a nonbreaking space instead of a regular space.

If you type the "whole" number, the to insert the fraction, go to Insert >
Symbol you'll find the 'characters' for the fractions eg ½, ¼,¾ etc.

Obviously it won't have the fraction for 1/1000 etc but it will have the
common ones 1/2, 1/4, 3/4
 
As someone else has posted, that's exactly what a "non-breaking space" is
for. Your code would look like this:

9&nbsp:1/2"

That'll work perfectly everywhere.
 
It's actually
9 1/2"

I finally got it : 9½

I couldn't find insert>
I have an insert button on my keyboard, but I don't
have any clue to how it works.

Here is how it worked for me: Programs>Accessories>
System Tools>Character Map>Select>Copy>Paste
