Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to "force" stacking of fractions in MS Word. I believe I'm running 2003.
What happens is my autocorrect recognises certain fractions (e.g. 3/4) but not others (e.g. 7/8).
Is there a way to stack unrecognised fractions?

any help appreciated...

Have you tried lodging them in Tools>Autocorrect?

You type 7/8 and replace it with ?. You can copy some (but not all Vulgar Fractions from the character Map)

For rarer & obscure fractions (eg 28/75) try using Superscript then subscript for the denominator.
 
Hi,

use the \f switch
[tt]
{ EQ \f(2,RateChange) }
[/tt]
results in
[tt]
2

RateChange
[/tt]
