Default Alignment of "Equation objects"

I have the Equation Editor icon in the toolbar. Clicking on it is the way I
insert the "equation" in the text.

How are you inserting the equation? If you are using copy &
paste, it will sometimes produce the results you are seeing. You
should insert the equation by clicking on Insert Object, create
the equation, then when you're finished, press the Esc key to
return to your document. Note that you can also put an Equation
Editor icon on the Word toolbar so you don't have to click on
Insert Object every time. This process is described he

When one inserts an equation object (created with the
equation editor) in line with text, the alignment chosen by
WORD is "bottom of paragraph = bottom of object". This
results in odd appearance when the height of the equation
object is more than one line. For example if one writes x= a
ratio , when "x=" is pure WORD text and the "ratio" is an
equation object, the whole expression is located well above
the "x=". Is there a way of locating, say the middle of the
equation object at the same height as the middle of the text.

Note that creating a "drawing canvas" that can be located
at will is not a solution as this procedure is very
cumbersome (the "at will" is very optimistic!) and very
often leads to "unexpected" results, such as sending the
"drawing" to the beginning or end of the document when
one tries to move it "a little" when it is "close" to the start
or the end of a page.

I have OFFICE 2002 SP3 - - W2000-SP4.

Thanks a lot for your help.
