Wow! Just learnt something.
I needed to type some fractions and just learnt this.
I tried it out and it actually works.
However, it only works in MS-Word so I can't do it in this email.

To Create the Fraction Symbol
Method 1: Use an Equation Field to Create the Fraction:
This method creates a fraction with a horizontal line between the numerator and the denominator.
- Place the insertion point where you want the fraction to appear.
- Press CTRL+F9 to insert field braces.
- Between the field braces, type the following
EQ \F(a,b)
where a and b are the numerator and denominator of the fraction.
For example, if you want to create the fraction 1/8, the field would look like this
{ EQ \F(1,8)}
- With the insertion point in the field, press SHIFT+F9.

While we're at this... here's the code for the Division Symbol (÷)
Typing [Alt+246] will give you [÷]
