SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the limitations of the math editing feature in Microsoft Word 2007, specifically regarding the scaling of the integral sign. Users have noted that while brackets adjust their size automatically to accommodate fractions, the integral sign does not exhibit this behavior. The consensus is that this feature is not implemented in Word 2007, and even LaTeX does not adapt the size of integral signs dynamically. Therefore, users seeking to scale integral signs for better visual representation in equations will find this functionality lacking.

Hi, everyone! I've been working for a while with the new math editing feature in Word 2007 and find it very impressive. My problem is that the integral sign seems to have a fixed size and I don't know how to scale it vertically to fit, for instance, multiple fractions. I've seen that brackets adjust their size automatically when they contain a fraction (as with Latex \left [ ) but that doesn't happen with the integral sign.

Is it possible to get this or the feature is not implemented?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't know if that is possible... not even LaTeX adapts the size of its integral signs, AFAIK.
