Oh, sorry. I'm using InDesign CS2 in Windows XP on a laptop with a current PC system. (I forgot this forum isn't only for InDesign.)

In the paragraph style I have checked "fractions" under Open Type features. In one of those paragraphs, I simply typed "4 1/2." The "1/2" came out nicely as a case fraction; the 4 also came out in numerator position. What I'm confused about is this: since the program, with fractions selected under Open Type features, is apprently taking all numbers to be fractions, how do I best differentitate to InDesign that I want some numbers to be baseline standard numbers and some (those surrounding the slash character) 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, for each fraction, a character style which has Open Style fractions selected? This seems unwieldy.

I'd also 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.
