Position of small picture in line with text
Hello,
I have small pictures (of math symbols mostly) that I want to put in line with the rest of the written text to continue the flow of conversation as though these small pictures were just different characters. But I can't seem to micro adjust the horizontal or vertical positioning to get the small pics in the center or below the baseline of the text. I just started using Word 2010 (Where exactly is the botton to tell you what version I'm usiong?) And I've tried using the Layout tab with its Positioning, Text wraping, and Size options. These seem to be geared for larger pics in text. But what about small symbols? Thanks. |

For images whose Text Wrapping is set to "In line with text," you can make use of the "Position" setting on the Advanced tab of the Font dialog box (Ctrl+D). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP |

Is there a reason for not using actual type for your math symbols?
Assuming you don't want to use the built-in Equation Editor, it's hard to imagine you won't find everything you need within, say, the Cambria Math font -- there are Unicode ranges for Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols, Mathematical Operators, Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols (groups A and B), and various others. Use the "Insert Symbol" tool -- I can't tell you where to find it on your Ribbon, but it's one of the most useful items I added to my Quick Access Toolbar.

The built-in equation editor doesn't allow you to put the equation and other text in the same line, if you want to change it to display. |

Many people avoid the Equation Editor. Have you _tried_ using type
rather than pictures for entering equations? You can also get the same effect using Fields (I don't do mathematics, but I've created very complicated linguistics formulas, which involve stacks of bracketed things, numerator/denominator things, etc., using Fields.) Unfortunately MS no longer publishes the details on Fields that were in an appendix to the Word 5.1 manual, and the aftermarket books don't seem to be aware that they exist.

You can still find a complete field reference at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...047231033.aspx. Also, the old Design Science Equation Editor does allow inline placement. It is still available through Insert | Text | Object | Object | Create New: Microsoft Equation 3.0. And of course the symbols in the Cambria Math font are available through Insert | Symbol. -- Suzanne S.

Even the new equation editor allows for inline placement. For a
"display" type of equation, click the arrow on the content control surrounding the equation and click the Change to Inline option. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP On 2012-05-26 14:05 (GMT+1), Suzanne S.
