4 Ways To Type Fractions On a Mac You can type fractions in text and word processing documents in a number of ways. The simplest is to use a slash character between numbers. This also works in cases where you want your Mac to perform calculations, like in Spotlight. Place your insertion pointer where you need Fraction Symbol text. Press and hold one of the Alt keys on your keyboard. Whilst holding on to the Alt key, press Fraction Symbol’s alt code (0189 for ½). You must use the numeric keypad to type the alt code. When I discovered that InDesign was missing a way to make fractions (like Quark’s Make Fraction) I created Proper Fraction Lite (which is free). Just select a fraction, like 1/8, double-click the script and you get a properly styled fraction. That works great for a few fractions, but I didn’t stop there.
