I'm not sure if this is the best news group for questions re. Word's
built-in equation editor. If you know a better forum: please advise!

If one has long textual subscripts like (in absence of any layout
features in ASCII text let uppercase here be characters in math-style
and lower-case be characters Text-style):

X = Ylong_subscript_here + Zanother_long_ name_here

For some strange reason equation editor tears subscripts, that contain
more than 10 characters appart and inserts some long white space after
each 10th character, thus yielding very odd looking formulas that look
like:

X = Ylong_subsc ript_here + Zanother_ot her _name_h ere
(Hope I could make myself clear here...)

Are you positive that the things that get split apart are in text style?
For instance, when you type "cosx", EE will split this to "cos x" if
it's not in text style (cosinus).
