Hi icosane, Some time ago, I participated in a thread that talked about multi-line equations in LaTeX. You can find it at https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=325387. For your example, try something like: \begin{align}\begin{split} NO_2 + CO~ &\xrightarrow{k_1}~ NO +...

Hi sni, Working with equation formatting and layout in LaTeX can get very tedious if the equation is very long. I suggest you start with smaller equations and practice using the markup to do what you want. A very useful technique is to comment (%) out sections of equations while you're...

Here's a quick tweaking of your markup, where I have used a modified version of these \newln and \parenthnewln commands that I suggested in an earlier post: \newcommand{\newln}{\\&\hspace{2em}} \newcommand{\parenthnewln}{\right.\newln\left.{}} \begin{eqnarray} \begin{split}...

Could you please post an example of what you are trying to do? These forums will parse LaTeX formatting if you enclose it within the a set of [ tex ] and [ /tex ] delimiters (remove the spaces to get them to work.) eg: \newcommand{\parenthnewln}[1]{\right.\\#1&\left.{}}...

Hi sni, Can you be more informative about what you are trying to do, and how it is not working?

Just a quick follow-up on this. The command [FONT="Fixedsys"]\singlespacing is part of the [FONT="Fixedsys"]setspace package. I have found myself trying to do this exact same thing using the [FONT="Fixedsys"]article document class, and had to mix up line spacing throughout the document...

In the chemistry building of my university, some vandal took it upon himself to write "$-BILL Y'ALL" all over the place. No one knew who did it, but it became a common phrase among faculty and students. Something to say when there was nothing else to say in a social conversation, or when...

I am assuming you're using Windows to compile LaTeX? I use MikTeX and it comes with the pdflatex driver, which compiles directly to .pdf files. I believe all other packages have this as well, but I can't speak for certain. I assume you can embed .PDF within Word? Another thing that might...

If they're in the same magnetic sublevel state, then they shouldn't cancel each other. They should stand to reinforce each other. But electrons generally don't fill this way. If they're in a p orbital, and they're the only two electrons, then they generally occupy different magnetic...

I would recommend calling them on their noise. It's unfair to you and everyone else. If you want to mess with them, steal their dog and dye its fur purple using food coloring. If they don't have a dog, buy them a dog as a peace offering. Then, when they're not looking, steal their dog...

If I'm reading this right, then the reason this won't work is the same reason you can't use fans mounted on a sailboat to create wind for the sails.

I have no experience with Mathtype, and have not used Word in some time. That said, would it be possible (and feasible) to import your equations as little imbedded .PDF files, or at least high resolution images? It would probably be a huge mess, but it would ensure your typesetting is still...

I'm now using them for clusters of similar equations, so my index numbers don't get too outrageous. \begin{subequations}\begin{align} Y_1^{+1}(\theta,\phi) &= -\sqrt{\frac{3}{8\pi}}\sin\theta e^{i\phi} \\ Y_1^0(\theta,\phi) &= \sqrt{\frac{3}{4\pi}}\cos\theta \\ Y_1^{-1}(\theta,\phi)...

Alright, I found my answer, in case anyone is looking. It's the subequations environment from the amsmath package. \begin{align} I = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1\end{pmatrix} \end{align} \begin{subequations}\begin{align} f &= ma\\ E &= mc^2\\ \pi &\text{ is exactly three!}...
