- Slash (/) stacks text vertically, separated by a horizontal line. 
		
 
- Pound sign (#) stacks text diagonally, separated by a diagonal line. 
		
 
- Carat (^) creates a tolerance stack, which is not separated by a line. 
		
 
Note: The automatic stacking feature applies only to numeric characters immediately before and after the slash, pound sign, and carat. For tolerance stacking, the +, -, and decimal character also stack automatically. 
		
 
	 If you enter numbers separated by stack characters and then enter a nonnumeric character or press SPACEBAR, the AutoStack Properties dialog box is displayed.
