How to prevent text such as "10/16" from displaying as a fraction by default

[Ryan1]

When I enter the following text in an RTF document in AWP "10/16" it automatically displays as a fraction (screenshot below) instead of as it appears here in this sentence.

Is there some setting I can set to prevent similar entries from appearing as a fraction and have them appear as in the previous sentence by default?

Sorry, I looked for a setting, including in the Spell Checker, but could not figure out how to do this. It's even possible I set it to do this at one time myself in the past, but I don't remember doing it.

Thanks for your help!

Interesting phenomenon. I could not reproduce it.

Atlantis has an option (Tools > Autocorrect Options) to produce fractions from things like 7/8 or 2/3. But I could not get it to work for numbers greater than a single digit.

Does it do this for other fractions like 11/13 or 10/19?

You can create a real fraction by superscripting and subscripting the numbers 10 and 16, respectively, and then inserting a / that you have copied from a real fraction like 7/8.

But I do not know how you could have made Atlantis automatically replace every instance of 10/16 with the real fraction. I tried and could not do it.

To state the obvious, and I know you have probably done this, make sure that the option to create real fractions is unchecked, and see if anything changes.

That is the answer! I forgot that option and overlooked it.

When I have it checked even two digit numbers such as 56/98 produce fractions. In fact it produces fractions with any number of digit numbers. But when I uncheck it, nothing produces a fraction (unless I do it manually with super/subscripts).

Thanks for the reminder. It works!

What is your Atlantis version?

[rstroud]

In my case, Atlantis is completely up to date at version 4.4.6.4.

I should have included that information. Sorry.

Windows (version 11) reports that my system is up to date. I checked the fractions issue again just now. Single-digit numbers like 7/8 will convert to a real fraction. But something like 11/17 will not.

What is your Atlantis version?

Have not updated in a while. I'm using v4.1.4.7.

This is a quite old version. The "Format fractions ..." option of the AutoCorrect in more recent versions of Atlantis applies only to single digit fractions.

Ahh thank you! Will update as soon as I get a chance.
