How can I get fractions not to set as special characters?

Casual, non-math user here. I want to get fractions to set inline (e.g. 1/2) and not with the numerator above the denominator. I have enough trouble seeing without trying to peer at those tiny numbers.
But I can’t find an option to not have fractions set special, so is there any trick I can use?
Thanks

In writer you can use the / character
1/2
1/3
1/12
