how do I find the threequarter key

[Miss Boggis]

How do I type 1/4 and 3/4. I can type ½ by holding down Alt key and 171 on
number pad.

Alt+0190 will give you ¾

Note that for ¼ you use Alt+0180 and for ½ you use Alt+0189; Alt+171 gives
you â—„

If you run a macro containing the following code, it will create a document
that contains a table listing all of the symbols that can be created by
using Alt+numeric keypad

' Macro created 12-08-98 by Doug Robbins to list symbols that can be
inserted via Alt+keypad
'
ActiveDocument.Tables.Add Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=1,
NumColumns:=3
Selection.TypeText Text:="Alt + Numeric Keypad"
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell
Selection.TypeText Text:="Normal Font"
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell
Selection.TypeText Text:="Symbol Font"
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell
Symbol = 33
While Symbol < 256
Selection.TypeText Text:="0" & LTrim$(Str$(Symbol))
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell
With Selection
.InsertSymbol CharacterNumber:=Symbol, Font:="Normal",
Unicode:=False
End With
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell
With Selection
.InsertSymbol CharacterNumber:=Symbol, Font:="Symbol",
Unicode:=False
End With
Symbol = Symbol + 1
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell

Here you're at the mercy of your font -- if you're doing something in
a classic Baskerville or Caslon, say, that doesn't happen to have the
extra fractions, Word will drop them in in Arial or Tahoma or some
such.

If you have the appropriate AutoFormat As You Type option enabled, just
typing 3/4 will do it (but only if preceded by a space).
