Big integral sign with word 2007

In summary, the speaker has been using the new math editing feature in Word 2007 and is impressed, but is having trouble adjusting the size of the integral sign to fit multiple fractions. They have noticed that brackets automatically adjust their size, but this does not happen with the integral sign. They are unsure if this feature is possible or if it is not implemented.

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.

Hello! It's great to hear that you are utilizing the math editing feature in Word 2007. I understand the importance of having accurate and adjustable mathematical symbols. In regards to your question about scaling the integral sign, I believe that the feature you are looking for may not be fully implemented in Word 2007. However, there are some workarounds that may help you achieve the desired result.

One suggestion would be to use the "Insert Equation" feature in Word 2007, which allows you to insert and customize equations using a variety of mathematical symbols. You can also try using the "Math AutoCorrect" feature, which automatically corrects and formats your equations as you type.

If these options do not work, you may need to look into using a different software specifically designed for mathematical equations, such as LaTeX or MathType. These programs offer more advanced features and customization options for equations.

I hope this helps and good luck with your mathematical editing in Word 2007!
