Make more detailed re field codes & switches in Word 2003's help

[Guest]

Step by step instructions for entering special switches within field codes
should be improved. Also, the present Word 2003 help erroneously states that
the special switch for making a fraction is a small letter f, when it is
actually a capital F. It took me a long time to figure out how to do it. I
was entering text within a fraction, so using Microsoft Equation 3.0 because
it doesn't allow you to enter spaces.

I have created many fractions using the \f (lowercase) switch in the EQ
field. I think your error must have been something else. Microsoft Equation
3.0 does allow you to enter spaces; some are entered automatically (around
operators), some can be inserted using the buttons on the "Spaces and
ellipses" palette, and if you apply the Text style, you can type spaces
normally.
