In Microsoft Office, only ¼, ½ and ¾ can be inserted via the symbol tool (or by typing the figures and having AutoText automatically reformat them for you). The Fraction function enables you to format other fractions within the text of your presentation quickly.
- Type in the figures as text with a “/” to indicate the fraction, e.g. 7/8. Select the text.
- Select Make on the Create ribbon and from the dropdown select Fraction.
