Oh, sorry. I'm using InDesign CS2 in Windows XP on a laptop with a current PC system. In the paragraph style I have checked "fractions" under Opent Type features. I simply typed "4 1/2" and the 4 and 1 are in numerator position. What I'm confused about is this: since the program is apprently taking all numbers to be fractions, how do I differentitate to InDesign that I want some numbers to be baseline standard numbers and some as fractions? In Word, for example, the program figures out by default (with certain settings) which numbers are baseline and which are case fractions. In InDesign, do I have to set the paragraph style WITHOUT checking Open Type fractions, and create a character style for fractions, which has Open Style fractions checked? This seems unwieldy. And I'd like the case fractions I create to have the same typographical weight as the baseline numbers. They seem to come out lighter, no matter what I do. Any help would be appreciated.
