If you know that the font you are using has additional single-character fractions, then you can create an AutoCorrect entry to do the conversion for you. Further, automatic translation of a limited number of fractions to their single-character counterparts is controlled in Word by an AutoFormat As You Type setting. The upshot of all this is that single-character versions of fractions are dependent on the font you are using. Since these single-character fractions aren't in all fonts, however, Word won't do the conversion automatically. For instance, Times New Roman has characters for several fractions as shown in the following figure: (See Figure 2.) Other fonts may include some other single-character representation of common fractions. Fractions such as 1/2, 1/4, and 3/4 all have a single-character equivalent in most fonts, so it is "safe" for Word to do the automatic conversion. Most fonts contain a very limited number of fractions as single characters. Why did I say that Word only replaces some fractions? Because that is all Word can do.

The reason for this is simple, really: Word has a setting that does the conversion to a single-character fraction, but only for some fractions. You may have noticed that if you type fractions into a Word document, some fractions are automatically changed to a single-character fraction, and others remain just as you typed them.
