Equation Editor
Hi,
I am using the Microsoft Equation Editor and I have 2 questions: (1) What font does the equation editor use, as I would like a text box at the end of the editor to contain the same font; (2) How do I get a numerator and denominator to be displayed? (i.e. how do I get the numerator on one line, the denominator on the line below, and also an Total= "in the middle")?? Many Thanks, Gary T. |

Times New Roman 12 pt is the default, but you can change fonts at Style Define, and sizes at Size Define. Once you open Equation Editor, the menus on Word's menu bar aren't Word's menus any more -- they're Equation Editor's menus. (Just make sure in the Define Styles dialog, these styles remain set to Symbol font: Symbol, LC Greek, & UC Greek.) (2) How do I get a numerator and denominator to be displayed? (i.e. how do I get the numerator on one line, the denominator on the line below, and also an Total= "in the middle")?? Use a fraction template. You have 5 to choose from. They're on the second row of palette buttons, second from the left. Click the palette button, click the fraction template you want, type the numerator, press Tab, type the denominator, then press Tab again to get the cursor out of the denominator. Click outside of the Equation Editor dotted box to get back to Word. -- Bob Mathews Director of Training 830-990-9699 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 |

Also, note that if all you want is a simple common fraction, Equation Editor
may be overkill. The EQ (Equation) field in Word with an \f switch produces fractions easily. The syntax of the field is fully described in Word's Help topic "Field codes: EQ (Equation) field," but the syntax for a field to produce, say, 15/16 would be: { EQ \f (15,16) } The field delimiters (the things that look like braces but can't be entered from the keyboard) must be inserted using Ctrl+F9. You can apply any font and font size you want to the field, and the resulting fraction will reflect it. -- Suzanne S.
