    How can I force Excel to do fractions in super/sub script

    When making sheets of nothing but feet/inches how can I get Excel to write
    all fractions in super/sub script instead of the standard script? Thank You
    very much

    You cannot. Excel is a spreadsheet not a word-processing app.

    This is not exactly what you want, but:

    Let's say that cell A1 contains a length in feet: 12.1 then in cell B1 put:

    =INT(A1)&"' "&INT(12*(A1-INT(A1)))&""" "&TEXT(MOD(12*(A1-INT(A1)),1),"##/##")

    which will display as 12’ 1" 1/5

    If you need the reverse, put the feet and inches into separate cells to make
    the math easier
