Finding the measurements

If you are looking for 1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 1/4 or 3/4 symbols,
here are a few options:

A. you can find them in character palette in the finder window.
+ click on your desktop (so you are in the Finder)
+ once you have the 'finder' drop down window selected point your mouse over to 'Edit' in the menu bar
+ at the bottom there is the 'Special Character...' option
+ when that loads, make sure the top left drop down is 'Roman, then select 'Digits'.

B. As an alternative, often you can edit the measurements yourself by using a combination of kerning, baseline shift and reducing the point size.

C. The character palette includes all other punctuation which you might need as well, like degree symbols, etc.
