This is a fraction symbol. You can change the behavior of these things from tools/auto correct options. There is a tab called auto correct as you type which contains a list of things which get auto-changed. Things like quotes/smart quotes, regular/graphical hyphens, and regular/graphical fractions. This is how it's done with Word 2003. The older Word 2000 may be different so I hope this can point you in the right direction.

Hi,

I have a question about Word 2000. I used to know this but can’t remember. How do I turn off the feature that reads (invisible) numbers in a sequential list? It’s the program that’s creating the list. For example, if I’m reading a recipe that says 3 cups of flour on line #1, and 1 tsp. of salt on line #2, WE will read: 3 cups of flour, 4-one-tsp. of salt.”

When I look for the number 4 in the text, it’s not there, so it’s an invisible number that MSWord is unhelpfully putting in. It is confusing. How do I turn off this numeric-list-creation thing that MSWord is doing?

Thanks so much.

Penny
