	On Vista. Can anyone tell me how to write fractions please e.g. half and quarter. I have tried following the 'help' instructions but they don't seem to work on mine. Ann Glos

	Just tried it again in a document and not on here.... worked fine.... I added my programme on as an extra... I bought it when I was a tutor/trainer. Maybe that is the difference? Ann there is something that is free that you can download... it is very very good, better and easier to play with, I think... I have it on my laptop, so I'll let you know what it is called when I go downstairs. Love Daff xxx
