Equation Numbering
Hi all,
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I could not find it by searching through the group. I am writing an engineering thesis paper, and would like to use Microsoft Word to write it instead of LaTeX. The problem I'm having is with equation numbering. I would like to be able to produce something like: Using blah's equation: f(x) = x + y / 2 * blah (2.3) We can integrate and get df(x) = blah blah (2.4) So from (2.3) we can see that blah's .... I've gotten the numbering to work using { SEQ EquationSection }.{ SEQ EquationNumber } and resetting EquationSection at the beginning of each section (which I think is a hack; let me know if there's a better solution) but I want to be able to reference that number in the text (i.e. saying { REF ThatEquation } ), so I can add equations later and preserve the integrity of the report. Please help! Michael Kipper |

Equation Numbering
Select the full equation number and insert a bookmark. Then elsewhere use
REF fields to refer to the contents of the bookmark. "Michael Kipper" wrote in message news.com...

Equation Numbering
Also note that you can insert the section number as a REF field if it is the
paragraph number of a numbered heading paragraph. -- Suzanne S.

And also note that MathType will do all of this automatically -- no fiddling
with SEQ and REF fields manually. -- Bob Mathews bobm at dessci.com Director of Training http://www.dessci.com/free.asp?free=news FREE fully-functional 30-day evaluation of MathType 5 Design Science, Inc. -- "How Science Communicates" MathType, WebEQ, MathPlayer, MathFlow, Equation Editor, TeXaide On 17-Mar-2006, "Suzanne S.
