Proper Fraction
|
Complete solution for fractions in InDesign and InCopy. Formatting Fractions Was a Tedious Task, Until Now. Proper Fraction was created for users that need a way to make fractions in Indesign (like Quark's Make Fraction).
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. I went on to create Proper Fraction Pro, the likes of which has never been seen before.
Proper Fraction Features:
1. It Finds the Fractions:
Proper Fraction Pro can automatically format all fractions in an entire document, story or selection! My laptop formats 25 fractions a second or more. That's 150+ fractions in under 6 seconds!
2. Better Looking Fractions:
Scaled down fraction characters typically appear thinner than surrounding characters. Proper Fraction Pro strokes the numerator and denominator for a more balanced thickness and better looking fraction. Great for non-OpenType fonts!
3. Custom Kerning:
You can define kerning pairs to control space before and after the slash. These settings can even be applied to a specific font for the ultimate in control.
4. Works With All Fonts:
Proper Fraction Pro can apply OpenType's fraction formatting directly to fractions, avoiding issues such as whole numbers being mistakenly formatted as fractions. If you dont work with OpenType fonts its no problem. Proper Fraction Pro will still produce great looking fractions.
5. Set Your Own Preferences:
A preferences window lets you easily control how the script formats your fractions.
6. Date Detection:
Dates (like 8/2/11) could easily be mistaken for fractions, but Proper Fraction Pro detects them and avoids formatting them.
