What's the fastest and best way to create a lot of fractions with in

superscript/subscript format?
I don't know a fast way, but here's what may be the best:
In the Writer document, go to Insert | Object > | Formula. The Maths
Command window appears at the bottom of the screen. Enter the
appropriate code here to create the required fraction, in your case
"7 over 8" and similar (no quotes). (Right-click in this window or
use View | Selection to see other possibilities.) Return the cursor
to the Writer windows to see the result.
You can adjust the position of the resulting fraction in the Writer
window, but not apparently its size. To adjust this, before you
leave the Maths window, use the various options in the Format
menu. Once the fraction appears in the Writer window, you can still
modify it by selecting it and then using right-click | Edit.
Note in particular that the fractions you create can be copied and
pasted around in the Writer document, so you may need to create each
unique fraction only once.
I trust this helps.
