We need a script for creating fractions automatically in InDesign, like the old one for Pagemaker 5 (which we've been hoarding since 1993). It still works in PM7!

I'm unfamiliar with Visual Basic, so if anyone is interested in creating such a script, please speak up! Here's the content of the Pagemaker script I mentioned. Will pay development fee.

Thanks!
