Summary: Learn how to change the thickness used for the dividing bar in a fraction. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

The Equation Editor allows you to specify the thickness of the division line (the fraction bar) it uses in equations. You do this as follows:

  1. Choose Spacing from the Format menu. The Equation Editor displays the Spacing dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  2. Click on the Fraction bar thickness box (you will need to scroll down some in the list of spacing settings). The Equation Editor changes the Spacing dialog box.
  3. Enter a fraction bar thickness value in points.
  4. Click on OK.
