    Symbols

    Hello all!

    May be a bit off subject... If there would be anyone who would know will be you all!

    I am needing to add a Symbol in Microsoft word. I.e. "1/3" -> "⅓" .... I am wanting a 7/16.

    How do I get this done?

    Check this out- - How to Create and Install Symbols on Microsoft Word

    I tried it and it works great. I used |\ as the item to be replaced with 7/16.

    Yea I saw that, I went through the steps and it only showed how to replace the text once typed. I had that in mind as well ...

    Once I type 1/2 it converts it for me or I can scroll thru the Symbols myself then attach to my document.

    But when I type 7/16, It has nothing saved to convert it with. So, I wanted to create a 7/16 symbol.

    Check out the Fraction layout: I want to create a 7/16 or 3/16 just like the ones below and add it to the symbol Dir.

    Thanks
