new line in eq editor?
"minimus" <minimus[ at ]live.co.uk> 11/10/2008 10:48:58 AM
How do I continue two write a second line in the equation ediyor of office
2007?
When i press enter at the end of an equation, word takes me to a seperate
line all opver again. However, I want to continue to write other equations
while I am in the equation editor window.

Use Shift+Enter to create a new line. To align at, say, the equal sign,
right-click it and choose Align at this Character from the context menu.

Thanks.

However, that I need to create a "new" line seems strange.
I would like to type a set of equalities one after another "in the same
window",
and not on seperate lines...

Well, that is how it works in the new equation editor. Note that you can
still use the old one, if you prefer. You can click Insert tab | Object |
Object and locate Microsoft Equation 3 in the list. That will also ensure
backward compatibility.

Using the Shift Enter does the same as an Enter does. I get a new line but in
a different paragraph. How do i stay in the same paragraph (same equation
edit session) and just move to a new line?
Thanks

Shift+Enter should create a new line with a new equation (assuming that you
are using the equation editor of Word 2007). But if it doesn't work the way
you expect it to, you can insert a matrix instead.

I am using the equation editor in Word 2007 and every time i do a Shift+Enter
i get a new equation, not a new line in the existing equation. Does this work
for anyone? I have used a matrix to accomplish the same, but that is rather
cumbersome, if S+E is suppose to work.

Thanks for your help.

Well, it does work if you are trying to align a sequence of equations, for
example after the equal sign.

But you won't get a two-line equation object, as you have noticed. For that,
you must use a matrix (or the old equation editor), as far as I can tell.

what does matrix have to do with this?
You mean matrix, the really matrix form in the eq editor?


Re: new line in eq editor?

I mean inserting a matrix into the equation, yes, as an alternative for
those who don't like the "newline method" (or who don't want to use the old
equation editor).

Yeah, you *could*, but using Microsoft Equation 3.0 instead of Word
2007's new equation editor (or LaTeX) would be easier, and would
result in documents that are more compatible with your colleagues. Or
you could use MathType. In either of these products, a multi-line
equation is a trivial matter to create, with or without aligning at
the = symbols.
