If you're using a typeface that has these glyphs, you can use the superscript 0-9, subscript 0-9, and fraction slash to build fractions. This eliminates some of the pain of changing font sizes and positioning, and the fractions you build look exactly the same as the thirds, fourths, and eighths glyphs.
Email I sent to my department: Fractions available as complete glyphs are listed for copying and pasting. New fractions not present as glyphs can be composed as needed using the fraction parts. All parts are inserted as Unicode code points using File > Utilities > Character Palette: numerators: superscript zero through superscript nine (Unicode U+2070, U+00B9, U+00B2, U+00B3, and U+2074 through U+2079) denominators: subscript zero through nine (Unicode U+2080 through U+2089) fraction slash (Unicode U+2044) Text I added to Reference page in template file: The following fraction glyphs can be inserted using an Alt+numpad key combination: ¼ <Alt>0188; ½ <Alt>0189; ¾ <Alt>0190 The following fraction glyphs can be inserted via the character palette or by copying and pasting: ⅓ ⅔ ⅛ ⅜ ⅝ ⅞ The following fractions are composed of parts; insert via copying and pasting: ¹⁄₁₆ ³⁄₁₆ ⁵⁄₁₆ ⁷⁄₁₆ ⁹⁄₁₆ ¹¹⁄₁₆ ¹³⁄₁₆ ¹⁵⁄₁₆ The following fraction parts can be used to compose new fractions; insert by copying and pasting: ¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹⁰ ⁄ ⁄ ⁄ ₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉₀ Patrick H.

I would like to be able to show the fraction without the hyphen. Tom Beiswenger Manager, Technical & Training Documentation, Project Manager - Inspection Business Emhart Glass Mfg.
