Debbie:

Word automatically changes "common" fractions to symbols for those
fractions, including 1/2, 3/4 and 1/4.  These are the only ones available.
There is probably a "fraction" font out there somewhere with more symbols,
but I have never seen it.

If you want to PREVENT 1/2. 1/4, and 3/4 from changing to symbols, choose
TOOLS | AUTOCORRECT and then the "Autoformat as you Type" tab and make sure
the "Fractions with fraction character" option is UN-checked
