Jon, Peter makes a good point. I was responding to your actual questions and not thinking about what you're trying to achieve. You're trying to use a "PageMaker" solution when there's a better InDesign approach. 1. If you're using suitably endowed OpenType fonts, you can just switch on the fraction feature for fractions and they'll convert all by themselves. 2. If not, then consider setting up Numerator and Denominator character styles that use baseline shifting and vertical and horizontal scaling to get your fractions -- then apply them to the numerator and denominator.
