Default Vinculum/overline that doesn't break the format?


I would like to write "33.3%" in Word 2010 with a vinculum over the last 3 for mathematical accuracy. I tried this method, which unfortunately changes the line spacing significantly and makes the text look messy and unprofessional. Using the math editor reduces the spacing, but simple single-line spacing is till not possible.

Is there a way to do this without changing the spacing (or the format in general)?

I'm not sure if you want the following-dot, as in 33.33˙, or a macron.

For a dot, you could type the number, insert a space after it, type 02D9 followed by Alt-x, then remove the space.

For a macron, you could use a field coded as:
{EQ \s\up6(\f(,3))}
Compared to other field-based solutions, this one has the advantage of retaining the character sizes without increasing the line height. The ‘6’ in the formula controls the bar height.
