inline equations and line spacing
Hi,
even after updating to Word 2003 I still see same problem from the older versions, which is that equations (i.e. MS Word Equation Editor objects) that are place in-line with the text just mess up the entire line spacing for that row. It looks a bit like 1,5 fold spacing for those rows containing an equation. This is despite that the paragraph spacing in the styles is set to 'single', and despite that the equations don't extend over/below a single line. Ok I know Word isn't the best for scientific writing, but, maybe I'm missing a simple solution or workaround here? Anyone know how to get proper line spacing? thanks, - Jan |

Really the only solution is to use Exact line spacing.

Seems a bit tricky if there's other objects apart from inline equations on the paragraph, but I guess Exact line spacing will have to do... Just odd that MS still hasn't fixed this after 1996's Word 6.0, even OpenOffice does it better :-/ - Jan |

Hi Jan,
In many cases, you can use equation fields to generate the same results you're trying to achieve with the equation editor. Depending on what you're using them for, you'll find that their results sit in-line with the rest of the text. Better still, they're readily editable! Cheers "Jan Wagner" wrote in message ...

Didn't know EQ fields existed, thanks for the info! However even something simple like { EQ a\s\do4(i) } will, at least in my Word 2003 SP1, and Times 12pt, change the line spacing between the previous and the following paragraph. I'd still have to set 'Exact line spacing' for it to work. thanks nevertheless, - Jan |

Hi Jan,
Not if you reduce the point sizing (and perhaps the subscripting to suit) for the field. For example, try {EQ a\s\do1(i)} with the 'i' formatted about 2/3 the height of your standard font. The problem you're having at the moment is that you're trying to fit a full-height subscripted character into the same line as the rest of your text.
