font size in word equations (using 3.0 editor)
I am using standard (default) 3.0 equation editor in Word.
I am puzzled with the relationship between font sizes in an equation and in paragraph text. In a document I am using 10 pt New Times Roman font for text. I need to set the "Full" symbol size in equations to 12 pts to match the 10 pts in paragraphs. (I blow up the doc 500% magnification and see that both symbols are equall in size). Why is this? What is the relationship between these sizes, for different fonts? I have read many postings throughout the years related to similar topics, and notice that many people recommend using another editor. That is not an option for me, unless the recommended editor is free! thanks very much for your help Evan |

font size in word equations (using 3.0 editor)
thanks - I have more insight into problem after playing around.
Resetting the size of an equation that is embedded in a paragraph of text seems to do the right thing, i.e., 10 pt equation size = 10 pt text size in paragraph. Yet resetting the size of a free-standing equation does not seem to match. It seems to me that 12 pt equation size (free standing) is same as 10 pt paragraph text size. Furthermore, the sizing algorithm doesn't appear to be consistent. Suppose there is a Full symbol with an overscore. That seems to get "fitted" to the pt size requested, e.g., 10 or 12 pts. But the symbol below the overscore is thus shrunk, as are all other symbols without overscores in the same equation. So the result is that the equation size looks too small. Evan |
