Default Font size in fractions? (Equation's fractions)

Fonts into fractions inserted via Equation - Structures - Fraction appear
smaller then the rest of the document let alone the rest of the equation it
self. Any help?

Thumbs up Answer: Font size in fractions? (Equation's fractions)

Yes, I can definitely help you with that! When you insert a fraction using the Equation tool in Microsoft Word, the default font size for the numerator and denominator is smaller than the rest of the equation. However, you can easily change the font size of the fractions to match the rest of the document.

Here are the steps to change the font size of fractions in an equation:
  1. Select the fraction in the equation by clicking on it.
  2. Go to the "Design" tab in the top menu.
  3. In the "Structures" section, click on "Fraction".
  4. In the drop-down menu, select "Fraction Options".
  5. In the "Fraction Options" dialog box, you can adjust the font size of the numerator and denominator by selecting the appropriate size from the drop-down menu.
  6. Click "OK" to apply the changes.

Alternatively, you can also change the font size of the entire equation, including the fractions, by selecting the equation and changing the font size in the "Home" tab of the top menu.

In the first row of the Fraction gallery, there are two structures that look
similar. The one on the left side, with the tooltip "Stacked Fraction", will use
the same font size as the rest of the equation. The one on the right, with the
tooltip "Small Fraction", uses a smaller font size. The small one is intended
for use in equations that are embedded in a line of text, so no extra line
spacing is needed to hold it.

If you take the stacked one and type some text on the same line but outside
the equation, it will also change it to a smaller font.

By clicking the arrow next to it, you can choose between "Change to display"
(normal font, separate line) or "Change to inline" (smaller font, same
line).
