Inserting a "Microsoft Equation" changes the Line Spacing
My problem is that, when I insert a 'Microsoft Equation' in the text, the
Line Spacing between the line in which the equation is inserted, and the previous and the next line of the text increases beyond the predefined value in the document template. Please give me some hints on how to get around this problem! |

Inserting a "Microsoft Equation" changes the Line Spacing
Hi saeedstar,
A. Allow a different value by means of Format | Paragraph... (set Line Spacing to 'At least') for the paragraph that contains the equation. B. Drag the handles of the equation to resize it. Or try a combining these two. Good luck, Cooz -- PS: If this is a satisfying answer to your question and you're logged in via the Microsoft site, please click Yes to "Did this post answer the question?". Thanks.

It expands more than required; therfore I would like to decrease the amount
of expansion. "Jezebel" wrote: it expands enough to accommodate the equation you;ve inserted. Why is it a problem? "saeedstar" wrote in message ...

Unfortunately none of the solutions worked! I also teried 'Format | Paragraph

Inserting a "Microsoft Equation" changes the Line Spacing
This is inevitable if you insert the equation in line. Change the layout of
the object to an option other than in-line with text and then it does not form part of the paragraph containing it. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org saeedstar wrote: Unfortunately none of the solutions worked!

Inserting a "Microsoft Equation" changes the Line Spacing
If you want the equation in the text (as opposed to wrapped, or
"floating"), make sure it is in a paragraph by itself (press Enter before and after it). Fixed line spacing does work for equations small enough to fit with other text inside a paragraph. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "saeedstar" wrote in message ...

Please give me some hints on how to get around this problem! There have been some excellent replies so far to this problem. Let me summarize: 1. Word increases the paragraph spacing to accommodate the largest object within the paragraph -- one line at a time. 1a. You can make the spacing uniform by specifying a paragraph spacing of "Exactly _ _ pt". I recommend a spacing of "exactly" rather than "at least". I think you'll find it produces more consistent results. Just pick a point value large enough to fit the equation. 1b. If it seems the equation has enough "padding" to skew the paragraph spacing too wild, there's nothing you can do about it. 2. If the solution to #1 above is unacceptable, make the equation a "display" equation. That is, make the equation on a paragraph of its own, centered horozontally in the line. 3. I *never* recommend clicking and dragging a corner of an equation to re-size the equation. Think about it -- you're using Equation Editor to make your equations look the best they can be. If you drag one equation one way and another equation another way, every equation will be a slightly different size. If you need to change the size of the equation, use the Size/Define command in Equation Editor -- don't drag the corner of the equation. The bottom line is -- Word isn't a desktop publishing application. It's a word processing application.

Inserting a "Microsoft Equation" changes the Line Spacing
Would you explaine a bit more about the second option. Does it mean that I
should remove the eqution from the paragraph, and put it in a separate new line?!

Inserting a "Microsoft Equation" changes the Line Spacing
You can't have your cake and your ha'penny. If you insert an equation in
line, it behaves exactly like a font character. If that character is larger than the surrounding text, then the line spacing will be thrown out to accommodate the extra size. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org saeedstar wrote: Changingn the layout of the object to an option other than in-line with text makes it really hard to put the equation in line with text!

Inserting a "Microsoft Equation" changes the Line Spacing
Well, large equations require you to put them in a separate paragraph.
The only alternative is to accept that line spacing varies. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "saeedstar" wrote in message ...

A "display equation" is an equation in its own paragraph, centered on the line. Clearly this isn't appropriate if you have dozens of equations in a short document, but if you read many scientific journals, papers, and textbooks, that's how quite a few (if not most) of the equations are displayed. At any rate, if Word's leading capabilities don't fit the bill for you, this is about the only option.
