Is there a way to type fractions on the computer (ie., within Word)? I know I can just write 3/4, but I wanted to know if anyone knew how to make them actually display as fractions. Thanks!
If someone knows of other freeware that can do this easily that's ok too. :)

What do you mean, "display as fractions"?
Having the numerator actually be placed on top of the denominator, with a horizontal line in between them. Something to the affect of this:
3
---
4
My best attempt. :D

How to type fractions in Microsoft Word:
1. Type Fraction (i.e. 1/2)
2. Press Space bar.
Hope that helps.
:) Yeah, I knew that one, I need to make more complex fractions though. For example:
2*(a + b)
---------
4*(c+d)
So that the portions on the fractions are on top of each other. Is there some sort of math program I can download for this?

Upon further review:
Apparently, Word only formats the fractions 1/2, 1/4, and 3/4. Sorry...

In the newer versions of the program, just click insert>object and select Equation Editor (I think it's something like that)
That enables you to create complex math equations :)
Hey there, long time no see - I've always remembered you from your title. ;)Quote:

Yeah, I figured out the whole equations thing - I have a whole equations toolbar which is quite powerful (and useful as well!). Thanks for all the help guys.
