If you've gone nuts trying to get your fractions to enter the same in
Microsoft Word whether they are the general fractions (ie. 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 . .
..) or the less used fractions (ie. 5/6, 7/9, 15/16 et al.) here's how.
-Insert your cursor in the postion you want the fraction to apear.
-From your Insert menu, select Symbols.
-From the resulting pop up select Font: Palatino Linotype
-Select Subset: Superscripts and Subscripts
-Select the number(s) in the list of raised numbers to fill in your
numerator position and click on Insert after each.
-Select the slash and click Insert.
-Select the denominator number(s) as before except from the list that is
postioned lower in the display box and click Insert as before.
-Close the window.
-You now have your fraction entered with the numerator on the top of the
denominator.
Happy Fractioning! : )
 
This is great provided you have the Palatino Linotype font. You might also
want to use the Fraction Slash character (U2044) rather than the ordinary
slash.

Or for those occasional times you need it... just use the FORMAT ...
FONT.... dialog box and apply superscript to the numerator and subscript to
the denominator.
