In Excel 2003, with number format = text, typing "1/16" (w/o quotes) appears
somewhat like a reverse N6. This occurs with most fonts, sizes. All other
16th's are correct. Excel is converting this combination to something other
than the slash keystroke. Try this to see it for yourself:
Using the Arial font, type "1/16" in one cell and "3/16" in another (w/o
quotes). Look carefully at the slash in each. Now try changing the font in
both cells to Symbol . The slash in 1/16 becomes something like an upside
down T superscript, while the slash in 3/16 is still a slash.
Autocorrect is turned off.
Is there a simple fix for this anomaly?
