Here you're at the mercy of your font -- if you're doing something in
a classic Baskerville or Caslon, say, that doesn't happen to have the
extra fractions, Word will drop them in in Arial or Tahoma or some
such.

If you have the appropriate AutoFormat As You Type option enabled, just
typing 3/4 will do it (but only if preceded by a space).
