How do I continue two write a second line in the equation ediyor of office
2007?
When i press enter at the end of an equation, word takes me to a seperate
line all opver again. However, I want to continue to write other equations
while I am in the equation editor window.

[Stefan Blom]

Use Shift+Enter to create a new line. To align at, say, the equal sign,
right-click it and choose Align at this Character from the context menu.

Thanks.

However, that I need to create a "new" line seems strange.
I would like to type a set of equalities one after another "in the same
window",
and not on seperate lines...

[Stefan Blom]

Well, that is how it works in the new equation editor. Note that you can
still use the old one, if you prefer. You can click Insert tab | Object |
Object and locate Microsoft Equation 3 in the list. That will also ensure
backward compatibility.

Using the Shift Enter does the same as an Enter does. I get a new line but in
a different paragraph. How do i stay in the same paragraph (same equation
edit session) and just move to a new line?
Thanks

Shift+Enter should create a new line with a new equation (assuming that you
are using the equation editor of Word 2007). But if it doesn't work the way
you expect it to, you can insert a matrix instead.

I am using the equation editor in Word 2007 and every time i do a Shift+Enter
i get a new equation, not a new line in the existing equation. Does this work
for anyone? I have used a matrix to accomplish the same, but that is rather
cumbersome, if S+E is suppose to work.

Thanks for your help.

Well, it does work if you are trying to align a sequence of equations, for
example after the equal sign.

But you won't get a two-line equation object, as you have noticed. For that,
you must use a matrix (or the old equation editor), as far as I can tell.

what does matrix have to do with this?
You mean matrix, the really matrix form in the eq editor?

[Stefan Blom]

I mean inserting a matrix into the equation, yes, as an alternative for
those who don't like the "newline method" (or who don't want to use the old
equation editor).

Yeah, you *could*, but using Microsoft Equation 3.0 instead of Word
2007's new equation editor (or LaTeX) would be easier, and would
result in documents that are more compatible with your colleagues. Or
you could use MathType. In either of these products, a multi-line
equation is a trivial matter to create, with or without aligning at
the = symbols.

I think the real issue is that it does not work as advertised!

Some how there are two threads going on this subject. The other thread
explains what is not working for me. In summary, the Shift+Enter in the Word
2007 Equation editor does not generate a new line in the same equation
'paragraph'. S+E creates a new equation in a new paragraph when what i want
to do is just continue the current paragraph but move to a new line.

thanks

What I get is a new equation in a new line. In other words, the behavior is
not quite the same as that of Microsoft Equation 3 (but using Shift+Enter is
necessary, as stated earlier, if you want to align the equations after, say,
=).

Yes, that is the behaviour that i get but that is not what i want. I want to
stay in the same equation and move to a new line. As i add or delete items in
my equation i want it to go to different lines all in the same equation. I
don't care about alignment. Apparently in Word2007 every new line is a new
equation and the user must move items from one line to another as items are
added or deleted from an equation.

OK. It seems as if you have to keep using Microsoft Equation 3 then. :-(

Hi Larry,

The equations are still objects and have some limitations, but they're also Word 2007 content controls and that's a different set of
limiting parameters, but the 'acetate' overlay for the portion of the equation you're in may be what is confusing, as is that what
Shift+Enter does can depend on where in an equation you are. When it acts as a new line creator you do get separate acetates so
that the alignment of different lines can be done on a selected character or by changing the margin controls for a line, but if you
delete the manually entered new line character note that the equation is again a 'single' one, which is the behavior you'd get
typing text in your document.

You can also set the Math correct options (Alt, T, A) to use the equation capabilities outside of a math region, so you can, for
example use an autocorrect shorthand in your document to write an equation that is not in a content control, then type a space or
punctuation and insert, on the same line an Equation object and add to that, then go to the end of that and type additional items.

Do you have an example of an equation you're wanting to create but can't?

Here is a sample:


〖〖 s〗_i (t-ˆ†r_r (t)-Ï„(t)-〖ˆ†r〗_RU )〗_ ‰…〖 s〗_i (t-Δr_s (t) ) + (ˆ‚s_i)/ˆ‚t
(t-ˆ†r_r (t)-Ï„(t)-〖ˆ†r〗_RU-t+Δr_s (t) )



Try to insert a line break and stay in the SAME equation, not start a new one.
