can microsoft create a feature in word that "dims the lights" (darkens) everything around the page you're working on? Like when you watch a video and your screen will darken around the video. I came up with this idea because I'm trying out creative writing and I don't need all the buttons & options displayed, in fact it's all bothersome. Please make a feature that isolates the page and darkens the rest!

Jennifer,

Who can tell me how Microsoft decides on the correct spelling of a word (for Word, Outlook, etc.)? The word Peacebuilding seems to be underlined in red (at least in pre-2010 versions of Office). Is this just decided by Webster's Dictionary, or is there an appeals process?

Thanks,

Fred

Hi Jennifer ,

Is it possible to call / show the new editor through VBA macros? I am using the old VBA code in Word 2007 something like this :

"ActiveDocument.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject _

ClassType:="Equation.3", Range:=Selection.Range"

How to call the new editor in VBA Macros, please suggest !

I have a problem keeping the toolbar in place. Is there some way to keep it on the screen while entering mulktiple equations? I have the same problem with the "drawing"toolbar.

Thank you very much for very interesting blog.

Could I ask some questions?

Q1.

In text (inline), we usually need to place limits after e.g. \sum or \int

operators but sometimes even in text we need to place the limits

ABOVE and BELOW operators such \sum, \int, \bigwedge

(like in the display style).

How to achieve such effect in MSWord 2007 (2010) equation?

Could you please suggest some solutions?

(I know I could use MicrosoftEquations3.0 where this is possible

but I need achieve that in MSWord 2007(2010) equation).

In TeX (LaTeX) system I can use in text e.g.:

$\sum\limits_{k=1}^n k^2=..$

to achieve (to „force”) the limits ABOVE and BELOW operator \sum.

Is there something equivalent in 2007 (2010) equation?

Q2.

In MicrosoftEquations3.0 I could use new function name:

e.g. Part1Ofname(small space)Part2Ofname just typing:

Part1Ofname(small space)Part2Ofname and then choose from

menu style function option.

How this can be achieved in MSWord 2007(2010) equations?

I mean how to put the (small space)

When I tried to use

Insert/Tools/Equation Option/RecognizedFunction

we can put only letters a,...,z and no space.

In LaTeX system we can use the following

\DeclareMathOperator{\FunctionName}{Part1Ofname\,Part2Ofname}

where \, means tiny space.

Is there something equivalent in 2007 (2010) equation?

Could you please suggest some answers to the above questions?

TIA

Andrew

The new equations in Word 2007 are great.

I'm trying to write a scientific paper. Where do I find the reduced Planck's constant (i.e., "h bar," "Dirac constant")? I found something similar in one of the foreign alphabets, but it won't italicize properly. This is a commonly used constant, and it's amazing that it's not more obviously available, especially in such an (otherwise) apparently well-thought out equation editor.

I encourage the equation writers out there to play with Linear Format.

THanks

First of all: great tool. Some remarks:

(1) think that Greek letter Lambda should be with "Basic Math";

(2) is it possible to make categories like "Basic Math" and "Arrows" floatable? Would save a lot of clicking.

(3) maybe a "Favourites" category is the best solutions for remark 1 and 2.

(4) if I use the "complex conjugation bar" (under "Accent") indexes like i and j lose their dot and become capital. Happens with both subscripts and superscripts.

This weekend I lost about 8 hours to bugs in the Word 2007 equation editor. At some point, MS Word keeps switching to draft view, and in print view only shows me half my document. This is after adding equations, performing "align at character", and changing the font in some of the writing in "normal text" within the equation.

In another case, Word 2007 said "cannot save file" and crashed - losing work. This is only after trying to write equations.

Has anyone else encountered these bugs?

The equation editor seems to be an un-reliable system. I have found working with it to be more frustrating than the old way due to both the showstopping bugs and a lot of small things - like how the light blue box around an inline equation while in edit mode obscures the characters on the right outside of the equation. Or how I cannot set a default font I want for "normal text." Or how I cannot control the size of my fractions (in one non-inline equation the fraction has fonts too small; I copy/paste the equation to a different line and viola, they are large).

I hope they fixed it in Office 2010, but I have not found anything on the web that indicates it's more stable.

I'm having trouble with the angle bracket (as used for expressing e..g. an average). It doesn't adjust to the size of the bracketed expression, as the other brackets (), [], || do. A single left or right angle bracket is formatted correctly, but the pair <> is not. Is this a bug? Is there a workaround available?
