Solutions to common problems with the word Formula Editor

About the use of Formula Editor in many books and magazines are introduced, but in the daily use of the process, there are a number of problems often appear, such as: input mathematical formula and then the distance, can not change the color of the formula, printing often garbled, and so on. To address the various issues mentioned above, let's look at specific solutions.

First, solve the problem of line spacing after inserting formula

When you enter a mathematical formula using the Equation Editor in a Word document, you find that the line spacing is significantly larger, as if the formula were to open up the row and the other lines, and use the command to change the line spacing. There are two ways to fix it:

1. Click the math formula you want to modify, and when the cursor becomes a "double arrow," Drag to shrink it. This method is suitable for use when only a very small number of mathematical formulas are used. And the drag accuracy is not high.

2. Click the "File" Drop-down menu and click on the "Page Setup" item. In the grid item in the document grid, check the no grid item (Figure 1). This is a good way to solve the problem of different line spacing. Strongly recommend this solution to everyone.

The color of the transformation formula

When you enter a mathematical formula in a Word document, you generally do not need to change the color, black and white. However, when you enter some mathematical formulas in a PowerPoint slide, the black color formula is not visible when you encounter a darker background, but if you change the background it is sometimes out of tune with the previous background. In this situation, you can try the following methods:

1. Modify the math formula color in PowerPoint

Because the formula editor enters a mathematical formula that appears as a picture in the document. So we can modify it like a picture. In PowerPoint, execute the view → toolbar → picture command, expand the Picture toolbar. Select the formula for which you want to transform the color, and then click the Recolor Picture button to open the Recolor Picture dialog box. Set a color for the formula, and be sure to return it (Figure 2).

Note: The formula that is recolor here, if copied and pasted directly into other software (such as word), restores the original black and white.

2. Modify the math formula color in Word

Although in Word there is no need to modify, but in case of special needs, it is very regrettable that the above method is not. But we can upgrade the Equation Editor and use the MathType input formula, which is a free

Evaluate the use of one months of software, you can directly change the color of the mathematical formula. The specific method is as follows: Select the specific mathematical formula for the input, and then double-click the Color tab below MathType to select a desired color (Figure 3). Once you have installed MathType, you can also use it to modify the color for mathematical formulas in PowerPoint.

Solve some items in the formula print display garbled problem

Because the Office software is installed by default without the formula editor installed, many print shops do not have the formula editor installed, so it's easy to get garbled when you print a Word document that contains mathematical formulas. The most common is "..." or "..." with the inverted triangle "∧" this symbol instead.

If the formula in the document contains only "..." or "...", then you can use the shortcut key "Shift+6" in the Chinese input method to enter without the ellipsis input from the formula Editor. Then the inverted triangle "∧" will not appear when printing. The best way to do this is to install a formula editor! Save for garbled characters! or use specialized software to change it to a PDF document (no longer detailed here).
