Is it possible to use Word to create a document like this?
Thank you everyone!! Yes I did get it wrong in that I expected dragging the
icon to the toolbar area would place the toolbar there but when I dragged the icon to an existing toolbar, it slid in beautifully. It's great now!!! Thanks EVERYONE!!! katy "Tom Conrad" wrote in message ... Regarding EE, see what Suzanne posted. Regarding the cylinder shown on your example. It can be drawn using 4 autoshapes, 1) a cylinder, 2) an oval, 3) two horizontal lines (radii). The cylinder is the bottom object. since the cylinder cannot be drawn as a see through object, you need to overlay the oval on top of the cylinder, aligned with cylinders bottom edge. If you color shade or color fill the objects, then you may want to overlay a second oval at the cylinders top edge. The radii are the last objects, they are aligned with the centers of the ovals, and are right aligned with the cylinder. -- Tom Conrad "katy" wrote: Thanks Tom, this sure did look promising. I put in my Office cd and found the Equation Editor, installed it according to this site http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/W...on_editor.html Everything went well with the install, no errors, was Successful. Then I opened Word (even after restarting the computer) and went through this procedure http://www.ele.uri.edu/Courses/ele34...equations.html but I cannot seem to be able to drag the Equation Editor to the toolbar. It's checked so it's supposedly viewable but I cannot find the Editor icon anywhere. Can you think why this is not showing up? I did choose Run All From computer when I installed it, not just Run From Computer. It's so strange that everything went well with no errors but there's no toolbar to view. I attached a pic, hope it's ok......... TIA for your help always!!! katy "Tom Conrad" wrote in message ... Katy, Yes, word can do this. It would involve using the equation editor, and the drawing tools. The example shown has nine formula, and one graphic. Most of the formulas are very simple, and could probably be typed out vice using the Eq editor. The cube root formulas will require the Eq editor. The Eq editor has its limits. There are several software packages that perform the creation of equations, and insert math symbology into word, or other software. (Google, equation editor for further assistance.) -- Tom Conrad === "katy" wrote: This link should take you to the example of the type of document we want to create.... using Word. Is this possible? perhaps by using wingdings font and/or symbols and does this look time-consuming using Word? The link is: http://images.search.yahoo.com/searc...7e67e&ei=UTF-8 It's for a math professor to create exams/etc. with. I know Word contains a lot of symbols and the wingdings has a LOT to choose from but it could be time-consuming to find all that are needed. The diagram could possibly be done with Auto Shapes or Line Art. That looks easy compared to the font Is that Greek, does anyone know? Or a Latin symbol? Or Arabic? Would it be possible to choose just one Font (ie which Wingding) or is this something that is usually created with a mathematical program, not Word at all? Thanks for ANY advice........... katy |
