Usually this happens automatically, well on my version but if not as with your self, highlight the 1\2 and then Format > Font and check the Superscript box.

or when you get to 3 just hit Alt+0189 to produce the ½ symbol so it looks like 3½ as desired.
Go to Start, Programs, Accessories, System tools, Character map to find the corresponding keystrokes for the desired symbols.

On Menu go to Tools>AutoCorrect>"AutoCorrect as you Type" tab and check the box under "Replace as you type next to "Fractions....etc".

This will change the common fractions such as 1/4, 1/2 etc to ½ format. If you want to make uncommon fractions do the same thing you have to set them up in AutoCorrect in the same AutoCorrect dialog box.

John's way is the most appropriate.

You may also want to check Tools>AutoCorrect>AutoFormat tab.
