Expressing Fractions with Offset Numbers and Division Symbols

First of all, you should use the fraction slash by typing Control+q Shift+z. 
Then you can apply character formats to the numerator and denominator. The 
numerator format will use the Superscript position and the denominator 
format will use the Subscript position. You set the specifications for 
superscript and subscript globally in a document by using Format > Document 
 > Text Options.

The problem comes if you have other superscripted and subscripted characters 
in the document that should have different sizes or positions. However, this 
limitation can be overcome with FrameScript.

Does anyone have any advice on how to express fractions with offset numbers 
and division symbols? I'd like them to appear as they do in Microsoft 
Character Map or Quark (ex. ¾). Your suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated.
