Re: Word 2007 Equation

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I haved followed your instruction and found that the binomial theorem in the
inline and display mode are of the same size.

However, when I type the following:

A. [Tab] F=m1m2/r^2 [Tab] Newton's law of gravitation

Then the equation (with fraction) is smaller when displayed in inline mode.

In TeX/LaTeX, I can use a command (\displaystyle) to force the equation into
normal size (i.e. in display mode). Can I do this in Word 2007?

Many Thanks.

I'm not sure why it's looking smaller to you, other than the fact that
having some components above/below can make the height of the equation
taller. I'm sure that the two modes -- inline and display -- are the
identical size.

Try this. Insert an equation (e.g., one of the prefab samples, such as the
binomial theorem), twice. Set one to Inline--but center it (Ctrl+E)--and set
the other to Display. Compare places where the components are the same. They
are the identical size.

If I focus on any piece, such as the (x + a)^n parts, and move them into a
graphic program, the Inline version perfectly overlays the Display version.
They are the exact same size.

When I write an inline equation, the equation looks smaller. Is it
possible
to change the size of the inline equation to the "normal size" (as in
display
mode)?

In TeX/LaTeX, I can use "\displaystyle" to force an inline equation into
display mode. Can I do the same thing in Word 2007?

Thanks.

What do you mean by "shrinking the text"? "Inline" and "Display" are the
same size. Inline might look smaller, because certain parts are presented
above and below, but the components are the same size as when presented
as
"Display".

Is it possible to write inline equation without shrinking the text?
