Long back, I wrote a post on How to Superscript and Subscript in Office Word? But One can do much more than that in Microsoft Office Word from Office 2007, like writing a Mathematical equation, Physics derivation or Chemical formula. This would be really helpful to write a paper for your project or even for finishing your assignment at School in style.
So how to insert an equation and formula in Word 2007?
Go to Insert tab and click Equation. (You can also use the keyboard shortcut ALT + = to insert an equation). This will enable a new tab, Design which will help in inserting various mathematical equations and physics formulas.
What can you write using equations in Word 2007?
You can use the Structures in the Design tab to insert different parameters in the mathematical equation or physics or chemistry formula.
You can also choose the symbols and characters for Basic Math, Greek Letters, Letter-like symbols, Operators, Arrows, Negated Relations, Scripts and Geometry related symbols.
How to Save Equations in Word 2007?
Also, you can save equations that you create so that you can use it later. Just click the arrow symbol when you insert the equation and choose the option Save as New Equation.
Here are some of the common options to insert equations and formula,
Fractions,
Script,
Radical,
Integral,
Large Operators,
Brackets,
Trigonometric functions, Hyperbolic functions, Inverse functions, Inverse Hyperbolic Functions,
Accent,
Limits and Log,
Operators,
Matrix
Nice tutorial, especially useful if you are in teaching profession.
@Nirmal, Yes they use it to write notes to distribute to students and also create question papers. Also as a student I have completely relied on Word 2007 to finish all my home work and assignments which involves lot of formula, equations and computations.
Fantastic. Will come to use someday when using it to jot down school stuff. Thanks a ton, I bookmarked it for later reference!
Wow, that is a great tutorial! Probably won’t need to do this stuff in my day job, but still, it’s good to know! Thanks!
I always loved the equation editor in Word, but I didn’t know that Word 2007 had so much functionality.
this tutorial is very helpful for one of my maths teachers.
i send the url and they are very thankful to u.
as they don’t use internet very much, so i am saying for this very good tutorial.
Yuk I hate Maths but nice tutorial though
