Hi, You could use math-macro, by writing at LyX bottom line:
math-macro half Then at the left box of your macro, write half in the way you would like it to show. Now every time you would like to write 1/2, you could just type \half in math-type invaerment. P.S It doesn't need to the word half, you could give this symbol what kind of name you feel like and it would be suitable for this file only (unless you create this macro on anther files). Hope its helps Hannan Geoffrey Lloyd wrote: >Hi > >Is it possible to create the 1/2 symbol, available in many fonts, using lyx. >I don't wish to use three characters as in 1 / 2 or the fraction command but >just a single character. > >Not sure if this is doable but any help much appreciated > >Geoff > >
