MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / July 2004Fractions
Some fractions such as 1/2 are auto corrected while others such as 5/8 are not. How can I apply the fraction stlye to all fractions Bonjour, Dans son message, < WLH > ?crivait : In this message, < WLH > wrote: || Some fractions such as 1/2 are auto corrected while || others such as 5/8 are not. How can I apply the fraction || stlye to all fractions The short answer is that you cannot. The autocorrect ones are there because there exits unique character symbols for some of the most common fractions: ? ? ? for example. Numbers being infinite, there cannot be a symbol for all possible fractions. A decision had to be made.... Although 5/8 is not uncommon, it is not part of the character map. If your document has a lot of different fractions, it is probably best not to use the autocorrect one as they will stand out from the others.

But they look different from the three standard fractions: ??? I could not see them in Word's Insert Symbol dialog. Is there a trick? Shouldn't they be there? How do you insert them with a keyboard shortcut? They are not part of the first 256 characters... So ALT-Numeric Key pad does not seem to work (U+2153, U+2154, U+215B, U+215C, U+215D and U+215E were the Unicode numbers I got). TIA SignatureSalut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org You can define your own keyboard shortcuts for the characters or press, say, 2153, Alt+X, for the 1/3 character. The Alt+X shortcut works for all Unicode characters (in Word 2002 and above). -- Suzanne S.

Most shortcuts I read about in the NG do not work for me.

Or it could be that you're not pressing Alt and X simultaneously. If you press Alt first, you get to the Menu Bar, and X might then give you some menu command. In my version of Word, View | Footnote does not have a keyboard shortcut. -- Suzanne S.

Ah well, I guess I will have to look in the keyboard dialog from the customization one to look at all the commands to find it... I remember having to do that for the useful command that is used with, I think, ALT-CTRL-+ and its opposite... (The one that adds or removes items from menus). In French versions it is a different command... And I am going to have to look it up again, I forgot again what it is on my version! SignatureSalut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org Jean-Guy, To avoid having to look at all the commands in the keyboard dialog, you can get a listing of all the keybindings with the following macro: Public Sub ShowKeyBindings() Dim kb As KeyBinding Selection.InsertAfter KeyBindings.Count & _ " key bindings in context: " & CustomizationContext & vbCr Selection.Collapse wdCollapseEnd For Each kb In KeyBindings Selection.InsertBefore kb.KeyString & vbTab & _ kb.Command & " (" & kb.CommandParameter & ")" & vbCr Selection.Collapse wdCollapseEnd Next kb End Sub Regards, Chad DeMeyer > Bonjour, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > menus).

When I run it I get: 1 key bindings in context: Normal.dot Alt+Ctrl+D InsertDateTime () But if I run: Application.ListCommands ListAllCommands:=True then I get the full list (including all the Add-ins). I think that if you want only Word's commands, you have to set ListAllCommands to False. With this I found that in the French version of Word, ALT-X is ALT-C. Thanks for the idea! SignatureSalut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP jmarcilREMOVE@CAPSsympatico.caTHISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org You're welcome. Thanks for the clarification on what is included in the KeyBindings collection. I had overlooked the ListCommands method.
