MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / June 2006Inserting Symbols in a Document
I know how to insert the symbols for fractional quantities 1/2, 3/8, 3/4 etc. in a document by using the character map. I would like to be able to do the same for quantities finer that 1/8th such as 5/16, 7/16 etc.. Is there a way to do this? Thank you. Don't know a way of placing more 'obscure' fractions as a single character, but you can get close using subscript and superscript options in the 'format font' dialog. Cheers, Chris. >I know how to insert the symbols for fractional quantities 1/2, 3/8, 3/4 >etc. in a document by using the character map.
