The commen fractions that MS Word converts are 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4. What if I want it to auto-convert 5/8? Can I create a quick key command for this? If so, how? The user that I've created this template for used to work with AmiPro, and there were commands that he could use to make it appear in fractions, as opposed to "typed out" format
