Hello All!



This is my first post and I appreciate your help.

I have a Word document that has auto-formatted fractions. Example-
1/2 becomes ½. etc.

I now need to convert all off these autoformatted fractions back to regular text. Find and Replace doesn't work. (It won't "find" the autoformatted fraction).

I've turned off the autoformating for future typing, but my question is...

Is there a way to change all of the fractions back at the same time? Or do I have to go through and change each manually?

Thanks so much!

Hi Rusty,

The autoformatted ½ is a single character, so you need to copy & paste that into the Find textbox.
