Haven't seen a reply to this yet so I thought I would chime in. The easiest way to format all fractions in Word is to use the free fraction builder tool available at: http://forums.compuserve.com/gvforums/default.asp?SRV=MSOfficeForum Go to the Files section and search for fraction. The file you are looking for is "Horizontal Fraction Maker" (W8FRAC2.EXE). Follow the instructions on the page. It's easy to set up and easy to use. I installed it for one of my users at the office and created a quick button on the toolbar. She is thrilled with it. Of course, you have to turn off Auto Format as You Type | Fractions options in order for all the fractions to have the same "look". Otherwise, 1/2 and 1/4 will look different than 1/8 or 1/6.
