Inserting Symbols in a Document

[Jack Gillis]

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.
