Yes, Diana, fractions should be a character based attribute, to avoid the sort of thing I referred to. I don't know how Word works in this case, it _seems_ as if it would have to read your mind to be reliable. You can set a character style for fractions, and assign it a keyboard shortcut if that helps. As to the weight, try inserting a few fractions with the glyph palette to ensure you really are getting the true fractions built into the font. The weight looks okay to me; have you printed out the fractions, or are you just judging on screen? If you're convinced the fractions are too light, you could try changing to the caption weight as part of your fraction style - those figures are a little darker.
