No, there is no space between the whole number and the single-unit

fraction. There is a space between the whole number and the " created "

fraction to distinguish between the parts of the numbers. Otherwise, you'd

have 11/2--eleven halves.

This is interesting . . . something I've never considered. I *don't* have the

BOS (my copy is loaned out), but I've never seen whole

numbers mixed with " reduced size " fractions. I usually don't use the " reduced

size " fractions when I can get by with it anyway, because

1/2 typed out is three characters and as a symbol is only one, but also because

when you put it with a whole number I think it looks

better to put " 1-1/2. " I bet there are going to be lots of people who disagree

with me . . . and it won't be the first (or last) time

that's happened. ;-)

Word has an option which will yield these " reduced " sized fractions

automatically. You type " 1/2 " and it becomes " ½ " so in my particular case I

am actually typing 3 characters. I like it! I actually think it looks

better, LOL! Of course, I will do whatever my employer wants when I start

working. And I may not even be using Word then, who knows?

I've learned that MTs can debate the most interesting things; I love it.

Cheryl, yes I read that part " placed directly following " but I still wasn't sure

if they meant directly or directly after a space. Directly is such a subjective

The only problem with this in MS Word is that I have to put a space between

them first and then go back and delete it to get the smaller fraction right

You could use the ASCII equivalent, which is Alt + 171. That is, hold down

the Alt key and key 171 on the number pad. Alt + 172 is ¼ (1/4). The

other ASCII equivalent I use frequently is Alt + 248, which is the °

(degree symbol).

Both my Word and WP software programs will default 1/2 to the symbol 1/2

(small cased) after typing the 2 and spacing. I admit, I do have to

backspace to connect the whole number and the fraction, but I do believe it

is what is preferred. The BOS does say, IF you cannot create reduced-size

fractions...blah, blah. Neither is incorrect though. So, whether you type

it 1-1/2 4 keystrokes 11/2 (reduced-size fraction) you are using about the

same amt of keystrokes.

Thanks. I knew about the Alt shortcuts in WP 5.1 but didn't know some also

worked in MS Word. This is great!

I am not trying to pick nits here...but either is not correct. AAMT

BOS--page 146, Fractions, mixed fractions.... " if you cannot create

reduced-size fractions that can be placed directly following the whole

numbers, then use the " numeral-virgule-numeral " style placing a hyphen

between the whole number and the fraction.

Let us not lose site of quality in our style to make room for 4 characters vs

5 characters. Our field has come wayyyyyyy too far for that. Let us not

undo all that Tessier worked so hard as one of our founders to

create.

And I, on the other hand, have never heard of using a hyphen with a

fraction.. we've always transcribed it as " 1 1/2 " NOT " 1-1/2 " . I suspect I

do it without the hyphen because that's how we were taught to do it in typing

class. Go figure

[Guest guest]

Something to consider when deciding which way to go:

For 1-1/2, that would be 5 keystrokes and counted as 5 characters.

For 1½ (using the Alt-171 method), that would be 5 keystrokes and counted as

2 characters.

Since the software I use counts " characters " for billing purposes (rather

than keystrokes), that would make a difference in terms of my pay.

As it happens, the account I work doesn't allow the use of " special

characters " -- any character that does not itself exist directly on the

keyboard cannot be used. Therefore I don't have a choice, but if I did, I

would chose the " higher " character count unless specific guidelines or

client preferences dictated otherwise.

Valeria, At the hospital where I work, something about the software program we

use does not like the symbols for fractions, so we have to type them out. You

are now bringing up something that I have never heard before and that does not

agree with the AAMT BOS. That is that you can type the fractions either with or

without the hyphens. Per BOS, " If you cannot create reduced-sized fractions

that can be placed directly following whole numbers, ...then place a hyphen

between the whole number and the fraction. " So I am confused. I have never

heard of not using a hyphen when doing fractions. Is this something new?

Margaret

>>> Valeria Truitt 06/14/01 01:36PM >>>

Kim,

That might by why your account requires you to use only keyboard

characters--they're the only ones that yield an accurate count.

On the other hand, since we're picking nits here, why put in the

hyphen? The fraction is accurate without it (1 1/2 or 1-1/2--either is

correct), but 1 1/2 is not likely to be read as " one minus one-half " and

for most people, the space bar is an easier keystroke than is the hyphen.
