Formatting fractions


    You can use the Fractions option in the OpenType palette to automatically format fractions. When this option is selected, numbers separated by a slash (such as 1/2) are converted to a fraction (such as Formatted character for the “one-half” symbol).

To format fractions:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • To apply the setting to all text in an object, select the object.
    • To apply the setting to specific characters in an object, select the characters.
    • To apply the setting to all subsequently-entered text, deselect all type objects and characters.
  2. In the OpenType palette, click the Fractions button to enable or disable fractions (if available in the current font). Alternatively, choose Fractions from the palette menu.
