Fractional Alt codes not working in 2017 as they were in 2015
Ryan W. Lass posted a question in Troubleshooting
Hello, I have been coming here for a while to find solutions for things in VW that I couldn't figure out on my own. But now I have one that I can't find a solution for anywhere. I just recently switched from 2015 to 2017 and have run into some lost functionality for fractional alt codes. In 2015 I used alt codes for special characters constantly and the fractional ones have all changed and/or some of them no longer work in 2017. 2015 2017 alt188 = ¼ alt0188 = ¼ alt189 = ½ alt0189 = ½ alt190 = ¾ alt0190 = ¾ alt8539 = ⅛ ? alt8540 = ⅜ ? alt8541 = ⅝ ? alt8542 = ⅞ ? Does anybody know of a solution or an alternate alt code? I could, of course, copy the fractions out of Word but that is tedious compared to the way 2015 worked which was awesome. I am running Windows 10 if that is useful for troubleshooting.
