This may not seem like a big deal, unless you want to make the field results stay with the following word. The superscript and subscript buttons in Microsoft Word. This will give you a numerator denominator fraction in the place selected. There is one "gotcha" with creating these types of field: If the field appears near the end of a line, Word will wrap the text right after the field and before the next word. Type the denominator (i.e., the bottom number) in subscript (to turn on subscript, click the X2 button in the Home tab).
When you collapse the field, you may get just want you want in your display. Just replace the \a with \o (step 2) and then superscript the 1 and subscript the 2. You can, if desired, also use the \o switch with the equation field.
Press F9 to collapse the field and change to the field's results. You should replace the 1 and 2 with the digits you want superscripted and subscripted, respectively. Type "eq \a(1,2)" (without the quote marks). This inserts a pair of field braces within your document. You may need to experiment with the spacing amount entered in step 6 different point sizes may be required for different typefaces and font sizes.Ī third solution is to use the EQ (equation) field that has been available in Word since before the Equation Editor was around. In the By box to the right of the drop-down you used in step 5, enter "5 pt" (without the quote marks). Using the Spacing drop-down list, choose Condensed. Now you can see that the 2 has been converted into subscript. If you want insert a subscript, simply click the related symbol X 2 next to X 2. Now the 2 has been converted into superscript like below. Then go to Home tab, click the related symbol X 2 in Font group. The Character Spacing tab of the Font dialog box. First, enter all data and select the content you want to convert. In Word 2010 and later versions, it's the Advanced tab. In Word 2007 make sure the Character Spacing tab is displayed. Select the first character (the one that is superscripted). Type the character you want as the subscript and format it as a subscript. Type the character you want as a superscript and format it as a superscript. Adjust the box size, box position, and font size, as desired to get the effect you want.Īnother possible solution is to adjust the formatting of two adjacent characters. First of all, you can create two small text boxes and place them in close proximity to each other. There are a couple of things you can try. He tried using the Equation Editor but decided that he didn't like the results and needed to find a different solution. The complete process is shown in the animation below.Tom needs a way of having a subscripted character and a superscripted character appear in the same space, so that one is exactly over the other. 9 and click on the SUBSCRIPT BUTTON on the HOME TAB again. Go to HOME TAB and click on the SUPERSCRIPT BUTTON. For example, we’ll type 7/9, which is in line. Simply type the FRACTION in the INLINE METHOD i.e. 
It’ll make the numbers look like a fraction which we can use in our scripts.įOLLOW THE STEPS TO CREATE CUSTOM FRACTIONS USING SUPERSCRIPT AND SUBSCRIPT METHOD This is not a standard method of writing the fractions in Microsoft Word but can be used if you don’t have any alternative.ĬONCEPT: The concept behind this method is to change the NUMERATOR to a superscript and change the DENOMINATOR into a subscript. The EQUATION method is already the best one to create the custom fraction, but if you don’t have the EQUATIONS option in your version of MICROSOFT OFFICE, you can go for this method. USING SUPERSCRIPT AND SUBSCRIPT TO TYPE FRACTIONS IN MICROSOFT WORD BUT YOU NEED TO ADJUST IT WITH THE PRESENT TEXT. SEPARATE TEXT BOX MEANS THAT THE fraction INSERTED USING THE EQUATION OPTION WILL BEHAVE AS IF WE HAVE INSERTED A SEPARATE ENTITY LIKE A PICTURE OR A TEXT BOX.ĪLTHOUGH YOU CAN MOVE IT HERE AND THERE ANYWHERE IN THE SHEET. USING EQUATION OPTION TO INSERT FRACTIONS
