How do I compose mathematical formulae in word?
I want to write some lesson plans for Chemistry which involve equations. How
are equations added to word documents? |

Hi, Pete. The answer depends on what kinds of equations you're writing.
Simple equations can be written as regular text. For more complex equations, click on Insert | Object | Microsoft Equation 3.0. If this is not a choice in your Insert Object menu, then you'll have to add the feature from your Office CD by clicking on Start | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Microsoft Office | Change | Add/Remove Features.

If it isn't there (it isn't installed by the Typical installation), go through Start Control Panel Add/Remove Programs Microsoft Office Change. Check the box for a custom install, look for Equation Editor under Office Tools, and set it to "Run from my computer". -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Pete, the responses so far have suggested using plain text or Equation Editor for the equations. These are good suggestions, but I wanted to point out that if the equations you are writing are chemical reactions, Equation Editor includes 6 arrow templates for such reactions. However, the professional version of Equation Editor -- MathType -- includes 27. Notably missing from Equation Editor are arrows with a text slot both above and below the arrow (for catalysts, initial conditions, etc.), as well as arrows for unbalanced reactions and equilibrium. These are all included in MathType. MathType is $99 for academic use, but you can download a free 30-day evaluation copy at the link in my signature if you want to try it out. After 30 days, it's still usable, though in a reduced-featured "MathType Lite" mode. -- 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 |

I found that for chemical reactions and structures, you should use a third-party add-in. I personally use "ISIS/Draw", which is free for personal or educational use from the following site: http://www.mdli.com/index.jsp Good luck! |
