AFTER A RECENT MOVE...I CAN'T FIND MY CHEAT-SHEET FOR FRACTIONS...

ANYONE KNOW WHAT I'M SPEAKING OF???

THANKS FOR THE HELP....SR

[Keith Almond]

Is this what you mean? ... Alt 0188 = ¼, Alt 0189 = ½, Alt 0190 = ¾

 

Have a look at Wikipedia's Number Forms

 

If you mean Fractions to Decimal conversion - Try this page http://tapwestpalm.com/fractchart.html

I'll bet he was referring to fraction/decimal conversion.

KEITH ...THANKS ....

YOU GOT IT WITH THE FIRST COMMENT...½  ¼ ø

JUST CAN'T GET HE 1/8 TO WORK..LOL...

THANKS AGAIN

[Keith Almond]

A lot of the higher fractions will only work with certain fonts (and sometimes there are limits imposed by the program too), and to be honest I haven't found many places they will work.

 

If you're looking for a cheat sheet for the ANSI Character codes try this one: http://cloford.com/r...des/symbols.htm Seems to work well.

THANKS AGAIN...

Further shortcuts that allow many many special characters - See this post http://softplan.com/...ons-tip/?p=2258

You can also use Windows Character Map to find the fractions for certain fonts. It shows the Alt codes plus allows you to copy it to the Windows Clipboard.

Yes, using the windows Character map works really well too. Sometimes though the characters are a little hard to find. I do like to have a hard copy pinned to the wall, for those of us who are hard of seeing ...
