Equations in Microsoft Word - best practice

AI Thread Summary
Using Word 2007 for equations can be challenging, particularly when trying to achieve a display mode for large equations while also formatting equation labels effectively. The equation feature allows for display mode, which is essential for complex equations like tall integrals and min/max conditions. However, users often encounter issues where typing after the equation reverts it to linear mode. Centering or left-justifying equations with right-justified labels is also problematic, as Word does not support changing the justification of equation labels easily. For documents with numerous equations, alternatives like LaTeX are recommended, as Word may not provide the necessary formatting flexibility. Resources are available for creating and numbering equations in Word, but limitations remain for advanced formatting needs.

Hi

I'm using Word 2007 and I'm asking if anyone can give me the best way to use the equation feature, along with equation labels, in a way that looks the best.

I need the equation to be large (not limited to a single line, i.e. "display" mode), but I also need it to be centred (or left-justified with an offset) and the equation label needs to be right-justified on the same line, preferably 1-2cm right of the main text border so they are easy to locate.

I have everything in place apart from the "display" mode, and as soon as I type anything after the equation object it converts back to linear/professional. I need display mode to correctly show tall integrals and min/max conditions.

Any ideas? (please don't say learn LaTeX!)

Cheers
Mike

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
