{EQ \a} field limitations
OS: XP; MS Word 2003
Is there any limitation for the number of items of {EQ \a} field ? I want to write a 9x7 items matrix but it seems that I can list only about 38 items; after that, the field code change to error. Thanx, Crios |

{EQ \a} field limitations
Possibly there is a limit to the total number of characters in a field code
(if so, it would probably be 255), which could account for the problem, but I don't see any such limit listed in "Operating parameter limitations and specifications in Word" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211489. -- Suzanne S.

{EQ \a} field limitations
I topped out at 39 elements using EQ \a.
Crios, you might want to try the equation editor, instead. I was easily able to create a 9 x 7 matrix (didn't test to see the upper limit). Insert a basic matrix, then choose Format - Matrix from the equation editor's menu, and plug in the numbers of columns and rows; then populate the "cells" as needed. Or, for more flexibility, you can use a Word table, instead, if you're creative about spacing and the use of borders. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Suzanne S.
