Hi Bill, I have Office 2011 and the latest (2019?) versions. Any fraction can be entered in both versions. I assume Word 2016 has the same process. But as Peter said in an earlier email, the actual Microsoft process is not at all user friendly. I have had no problems with simple entries.
The MS method can be accessed by the standard top menu bar via “Insert > Equation”. Alternative access is via the document multi-function menu system starting with “Insert > Equation”. It now gets complicated. I would ignore the text box “type equation here” that is inserted and select “Fraction” from the expanded document menu. This displays various formats for entering fractions such as - or / for the two parts. THEN you can type in the two numbers in a displayed fraction-formatted text box. Plus lots of other options that you might explore when you have a spare hour or so.
