16320 2001-07-31 08:25:00 How do you display say 1/7 or 5/14 as an integral fraction i.e with a diagional line through it and at a reduced size rather than as above or with a horizontal line like

in Word. Insert Symbol only provides for 1/3, 2/3, 1/8, 3/8, 5/8 and 7/8.

Equation editor does not seem to be the go either.

As for equation editor, it can do any fraction, but as you said it will be hard to get it to line up nicely.

16322 2001-07-31 14:52:00 Try this: Add the first number at a superscript (Ctrl-shift +), and the second as a subscript (Ctrl-shist =). For the diagonal between them, place the cursor correctly, then Insert menu | Symbol | choose the Symbol font, and select the diagonal that's four rows below the number '4'.

That may be close enough for what you want.
