Write fractions in Word - so it'll work

Fractions can also be easily written in Word documents and, above all, mathematically correct.

Mark the Word document with the break symbol in three steps

• You select the "Insert" tab.
• In the ribbon, go to the "Formula" icon. Double click on it.
• Then see a very large number of symbols and operations from mathematics, including of course the fractions. On your Word document you will now discover a field in which you can enter your mathematical formula or arithmetic operation. (The example was created with Microsoft Word 2010.)

If you want to do more extensive math operations, here are a few tips for Excel.
