How do  I enter fractions say  8 1/2  where the 1/2 becomes smaller asyou would  do in Word

How do  I enter fractions say  8 1/2  where the 1/2 becomes smaller as you would  do in Word.Currently I use size 12 for main number and size 10 for the fraction.
Any suggestions? I am using Framemaker 9.
thanks

We do fractions as Variables. This works with any roman font. We do use the fraction slash (\xa4, auto-converted to §) from the Symbol set.
Pre-requisite: make sure these Character Formats are defined:
"Superscript" - as is except for [*] Superscript and [*] Pair Kern
"Subscript" - as is except for [*] Subscript and [*] Pair Kern
"Symbol" - as is except Font [Symbol] and [*] Pair Kern
Typical Variables
Name: fraction.500.one.half
Definition: <Superscript>1<Default ¶ Font><Symbol>§<Default ¶ Font><Subscript>2<Default ¶ Font>
Name: fraction.781.twenty_five.thirty_second
Definition: <Superscript>25<Default ¶ Font><Symbol>§<Default ¶ Font><Subscript>32<Default ¶ Font>
Doing it this way you aren't restricted to the pre-defined fractions in your fonts, or compelled to use a separate math/symbol font with a larger selection of fracs.
You also avoid adjacent text being at risk of being rendered as super/sub. The frac is a single object, easily cut, copied and pasted without literal side effects.
Including the decimal equivalent causes the pull-down menu list to self-sort.

  • HT1212 I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone  and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled

    I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. Earlier today I upgraded my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 and it asked me to set a passcode, which now works fine on my Phone. I  tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone 5 and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled. Both devices are on icloud and share the same apple id. The Ipad screen says slide to set up but then there is a prompt for passcode, not for setting up passcode

    I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
    I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring.

  • How to create a custom control of a button where the look will be applied to all others but not the Boolean text?

    Hi all
    I would like to create a customized button as a master so that if I change the look of the master all other buttons will change too.
    I have done this with a custom control as a "strict type def" otherwise the look will not change BUT If I do this as a strict type def I cannot change the Boolean text anymore which should be different on every button.
    How can I create a master control of a button where the look will be applied to all others but not the Boolean text?
    Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish
    Solved!

    Steve Chandler wrote:
    I don't think you can do that. I just looked and as I suspected the Boolean text property is read only for strict typedefs so you cannot use property nodes to change the text.
    As a workaround just make it a typedef. When you want to change the look open the typedef and make it strict, make your changes, then make it non strict again. You will have to update the Boolean text again for all instances. Kind of a pain. Maybe this is something for the idea exchange.
    Kudos for being sneaky.
    I like these creative work-arounds!

  • How do I turn off that silly flash warning where the favicon is suppoed to be in the address bar

    I recently noticed that the powers that be at Mozilla are now dumbing down firefox to the level of AOL. They added a new 'protect me from myself' feature where there is a little icon in the address bar next to where the favicon is supposed to be that warns about a page using flash. REALLY? You think users are THAT stupid? How do I turn that off. It is so silly and stupid.
    BTW, PLEASE stop going down that path. The main reason FF has been superior is that it didn't try to warn me about every little thing on line and protect me from mys elf at every nook and cranny. Crap if you are going to continue this route why not make us type every single character three time and they confirm it with a yes/no dialog so we will be safe???

    Are there any messages about this plugin in Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins or on the about:plugins page?
    This icon at least let you see that plugins are present. If you set the default action to always activate then the plugin shouldn't be blocked.

  • How do I enter in a Date and Time into the InputDate tag

    Using the default DataEditComponent.jsp page, I have an entity object with a Date in it. However, when you click on the calendar icon and populate the field with the date you can not add a time. How do you add a time to this field.
    Create Date : 2002-08-23 and I would like to input 2002-08-23 16:30
    Thanks,

    Change your domain type for your entity object to Timestamp. You also need to edit your control hints to use a format that includes the time portion. Once this is done, you will be able to edit\update\display the time portion.

  • How can i access my iPad from my macbook if the display is out?  i would like to  back up all my information but i cannot "allow" access on the iPad if i cannot see the iPad display.  Suggestions?

    Just found out that my display is hosed on my iPad 2.  Connecting it to my macbook prompts me to "allow' access on the iPad 2.  I cannot do so because this information is on the iPad 2 display.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • How to write a query to select a column where the column value ends with %

    Hii people!!
    I want to select bag_code where bag_code ends with %, e.g. A2389% from the table bags using the following
    query:
    select bag_code from bags where bag_id in
    (select bag_id from store where store_id = 3266)
    and bag_code like '%_%'
    Now the problem's it returns all the possible bag codes in the store with store_id 3266.
    how should i write such a query?
    Abhishek.

    I could even imagine
    SQL> create index r on emp(reverse(ename));
    Index created.
    SQL> select empno,ename from emp where reverse(ename) like 'T%';
         EMPNO ENAME     
          7788 SCOTT      It is too sad that we have to use fbi, since reverse index does exists, but it does not get use for range scan :-(
    SQL> create index r on emp(ename) reverse;
    SQL> select * from emp where ename like '%T';to tune thomas query, if you are only looking for %, then you could do
    where ... decode(substr(bags.bag_code, -1),'%',1) is not null
    and
    create [bitmap] index fbi_pct on bags(decode(substr(bag_code, -1),'%',1));

    Morning xNatalieex,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    How to clean Apple products

    iPod touch
    To clean iPod touch, unplug all cables and turn off iPod touch (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, and then slide the onscreen slider). Then use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPod touch.

  • New Thunderbolt drive, How, or Do I even need to tell Lightroom where the Library is?

    I have learned, over time, to be very carful with Lightroom and now is no exception...
    I copied all of my files, the complete library of photos, over to a new Thunderbolt hard drive. I then erased and renamed the old firewire drive and now use that for a backup.:
    My question is: When I opened Lightroom it acted as if nothing had happened and all of the photos are showing. What is Lightroom doing? Is it using the old drive which is now a backup even though I renamed it? or, is Lightroom 5 so smart that it sees the new Thunderbolt drive and library and just decided on its own that 'this' is what is going to use?
    I have no idea what is going on, but since it is day 1 I want to be sure Lightroom is using the correct library, not the backup.
    Can someone help me determine that things are in place and working as they should?
    TIA,
    Ken

    JimHess wrote:
    I apologize for having to ask so many questions. But what was the name of the old drive before you renamed it? Additionally, if you go to the library module and right-click on one of your images, one of the options in Windows is to "Show in Explorer" and on the Mac I assume it would be to "Show in Finder". If you click on that option it should open your system browser and show you the folder where that file is located. And at the top of that window you should be able to see the name of the drive and folder you are looking at.
    The name of the old drive was "LaCie New 2TB" - I will now look at what comes up when I choose 'Show in finder' ( I'm on a Mac)
    Okay, back here and what I found was right-clicking on one of the images brings up "“A32Z7813.CR2” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    So, even though I have no question marks or exclamation marks, Lightroom does not see the original Library or Catalog (which one is it?) of original images.
    So, I think the question is, How do I tell Lightroom to use the complete original files that are now on the new Thunderbolt drive?

    The same as you would anywhere else. The Terminal doesn't display bullets, asterisks, or anything else in response to characters being entered at the password prompt.

  • How do I erase all images from a card in the Cannon Rebel t3

    how do I erase all images from a card in the Cannon Rebel t3

    Hello debrusso,
    I would just like to give some quick advice that you all may already know but I was just told this countless of times that I thought you all would like to know. \
    I have been told by numerous of photography professors that it is always best to try to format your camera every now and then. Because your memory card is not really deleting the photos but rather hiding it somewhere. This is a problem because it still takes space from your card. The solution to this is to FORMAT because it is one of the safest ways for your camera to erase images. It also sets up properly for your camera like new. But make sure to save your images before doing formatting. I have had many silly accidents this way. Lol.
