I know there is a way to make 1/2 appear as a single digit instead of 3 anyone know what keys to press to do this?
Wish I paid more attention in computer class.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

¼ = Alt+0188
½ = Alt+0189
¾ = Alt+0190

Hold down the Alt key and type the number.

Go to Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Character Map for more symbols.

Hold down ALT and press 171 and you get: ½

Be careful about using those characters in the title of your listing. Several years ago I used to do that and had no problem. Recently, however, I listed an item using the same title I had used in the past and eBay did not recognize the characters properly so I had to go back in and change it to "1/2" etc. Does anyone have any recent experience using the "ALT" characters successfully in eBay titles?
