How to Find/Replace Stacked Fractions

How do I find and replace stacked fractions in Element Type: Text into unstacked? (In version V8i SS2)

For example "120A9½" needs to look like "120A9 1/2".

In the Word Processor Editor the text shows up as 120A91#2 (grey on the 1#2).

Hours of searching Help, BE Communities and Google have not helped me find what to put in the Find Dialog even to find the text.

I have lots of text with other characters following the 9 after 120A (120A93, 120A99, etc.) but none with a space following the 9. However, using a space following the 9 in the Find Dialog (i.e."120A9 ") finds "120A9½". But I can't find any character following the space to narrow it to the ½. (I have other fractions ¼, ¾ etc. to distinguish between.)

Please point me to any documentation that I missed that shows how to do this. Or if it is not written anywhere, how has anyone been doing it?

Thanks, Dale
