Fractions

Posted on by 785

We have a lot of descriptions for our part numbers that are fractions. Some of our part numbers have small-sized fractions that only take up one character, but I can't figure out how to do that. Can someone tell me?

    I can barely spell MAC but give this link a try:

    softwares.bajram.com/softwares

    It looks like you need to down a free app.

    OOO Thank you Richard - is there a way to do that on a Mac? We don't have the Alt key

    This chart has a couple of fractions but not all. You hold down the ALT key and then type the number using the numbers on the keypad.

    The guy who helped us first set up our software showed us how to make part numbers.

    So for instance, if we had a part number for 3/4" Pipe - he would make it look: ¾"

    I copied and pasted that from the item maintenance window of our Dynamics GP, but I don't know how to make it do that when I write the descriptions.

    Unfortunately GP doesn't let you enter fractions as you would in something like Microsoft word.  When you enter these in a description, and you entered 1/4, that would take up 3 characters.  Is this what you are meaning?

    I am really not sure I have understood your question, could you please provide further details ?

    Are you talking about item number and their descriptions ? What exactly do you mean by part numbers have small sized fractions ?

    Your feedback is highly appreciated,
