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.

Nope.... mine doesn't, either!!

Not sure when I had mine... I think it is Student and teacher office that I added on..... so probably had it about 4 years, maybe 5.

Ann, what version of Word/Office have you got?

On 2003, if you click on insert/symbol then find the one you want in the selection.

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.
