Printing Odd Fractions

I have a text in which I am repeatedly typing not-your-everyday fractions
for bolt sizes (e.g., 13/16", 19/64", or 9/32"). Word places the common
fractions, such as 1/4, or 1/2, in a typical format. Is there a way in
which all fractions can be printed in this manner? I am using Office 2000.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Gordon,

If you would change to the metric system, you would not have this problem
<g>

See the article ?How can I create a fraction in Word that isn't in any of
the fonts I have?? at:

http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/CreateFraction.htm

The article explains using the auto-correct utility to facilitate
repetitious use.

Sir Robbins (again) --

Touche. Unfortunately, I am writing a technical article on the overhaul of
Model "A" Ford carburetors, and I don't believe that Henry even knew what a
metric was at the time.

Your link did not work, but I suppose that I must decide to change the
format for all of the fractions, or to leave them all alone. Still stewing
on this one.

Gordon
