You may have to override cell positioning to bottom right to get numbers to align right (halo for Column ->menu->layout->table layout->cell positioning -> bottom right). Replace Red and Green morphs with Text containing numerator and denominator. Set Yellow morph's color to black, length to 3 and width to the max (numerator width, denominator width).
Create Column morphs for first fraction, +, second fraction, =, total fraction and put them into a Row Morph. HTH .. Subbu _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list Beginners@lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
