Click "enter" and find "Insert tab" in "category". The command contains "equationinsert", which is the built-in editor of word, we want to use mathtype, so we do not select it. Find "insertobject", insert an object, and set the shortcut key. When starting later, use the shortcut key to open the inserted object and select mathtypex. X from the inserted object. That is, the mathtype insertion formula is enabled. When exiting, ALT + F4 is disabled and returned to the Word document.

(2) The most common shortcut keys in the Public Editor

CTRL + H: superscript; crtl + L: subscript; Ctrl + J: superscript; crtl + R: root number; Ctrl + F: semicolon; Ctrl + I: points.

(3) Several shortcut keys used in the Public Editor

(4) When the upper/lower mark is a Chinese character, it is very small and cannot be clearly understood. You can change the settings as follows: "size/Definition ", in the displayed dialog box, set the upper and lower labels to 8 lbs.

(5) If the word body uses the fifth character, the "standard" in the "size/definition" dialog box in the formula editor is the most suitable for 11 lbs.

(6) In the full-angle state of the input method, you can enter a blank space, but not in the half-angle state.

(7) In "style/Definition", you can add black or skewed text.

(8) In formula editing, some special symbols cannot be directly entered (for example,★), You can insert a special symbol in the word body, and then use the copy and paste method to transplant it to the formula.

(9) When applying Styles, you can use the mouse to switch between them, or you can use the keyboard to quickly specify:

Mathematical Ctrl + Shift + =;Text Ctrl + Shift + E;

　　Function Ctrl + Shift + F; Variable Ctrl + Shift + V;

　　Greek letter Ctrl + G(You can use this method to enter Greek letters directly on the keyboard. The following is a detailed description );

　　Matrix Vector Ctrl + Shift + B;

If the installation interface is displayed during the formatting formula, this is because the public editor is not installed, because the official editor is not installed by default when the Office is installed for the first time. You can use the custom installation method, on the installation page, click the "+" sign before Microsoft Word for Windows, and then select "office tools" in the expanded options ", then select the "Public Editor" item.

Click it with the left mouse button to bring up a menu, where you can select the "run from Local Machine" option. Then install the agent step by step according to the installation wizard.

You may find that the Space key cannot be used in the formula editing. This is because the formula Editor automatically adds proper spacing between elements, and only uses the Space key when using the "text" style. To use the space key, you must select the "text" style first, press the Space key.

In addition, you can adjust the distance of each part of the formula according to the following three methods.

A. automatically set the spacing.

Use the following method to customize the gap between formulas in the formula editor.

(1) Click format> definition spacing.

(2) drag the scroll bar, select the corresponding distance option, and enter a new percentage. This percentage is the percentage specified as [standard character size]. You can also use inches (in), centimeters (CM), millimeters (mm), lbs (PT) or twelve DOTS (PI ).

(3) Click factory settings to reset all definitions to the default size of the formula editor.

B. manually set the spacing (not found)

You can use the spacing button in the formula toolbar to adjust the font spacing of the formulas on the left and right sides of the cursor, and manually set the formula spacing by placing the insertion point at the position where you want to adjust the spacing, select the following spacing symbol from the spacing/ellipsis toolbar, or press the following shortcut key. See table 1.

Press Ctrl + to move up a pixel

Press Ctrl + down to move down a pixel

Press Ctrl + Right-click to move one pixel to the right

If you select the text style in the formula, you can type any text in the formula. However, the text style does not have a special format used by the formula editor. Generally, the [text] style is used only for the letter characters and text inserted into the formula, for example, "each" text.

In most cases, the formula Editor automatically adjusts the spacing between numbers, symbols, and variables when you create a formula. The space key is used only when the text style is applied. You can adjust the spacing by using the format setting command or selecting spacing characters from the symbol tool board. When you type a text in a formula (such as a named variable), the "text" style is automatically applied and the Space key can be used to increase the text spacing.

FAQs:

(1)The characters in the formula have become invalid characters.

Why do some characters in the formula become invalid after the formula is opened in the formula editor?

This problem exists, but as long as you are familiar with the formula editor, the problem is solved. The following is an example.

If you open a formula and exit the formula editor, the formula contains invalid characters, such:

Double-click the formula, switch to the formula editor panel, select the character with the mouse, and click the style button in the formula editor toolbar. If you know that the character is applied (or default) you can directly modify the font of a style by using a certain style (such as a "character. (In the formula, the default font is generally Times New Roman. If it is a character font, it is generally symbol, and fullwidth text (that is, Chinese) it generally uses ). The invalid characters in the above formula may be that the font in the "symbol" style uses other fonts (the correct font should be symbol). You only need to change the font of the "character" style. The method is to open the dialog box shown in 3, and then in the "font" of the "character" Style"
In the drop-down list box, change the original Times New Roman font to the symbol font. The modified formula is as follows:

Tip: when you enter a formula using characters in the "other symbols" panel in the formula toolbar, the default style is "character.

In addition, if you want to make the same expression in the formula bold or skewed, you can in the pop-up dialog box, under the "character format" on the right side of the style, select the bold or skewed check box corresponding to the style name on the left.

Also, when you type a formula, use the relational symbol in the formula editor toolbar to type a symbol such as "greater than or equal to" or "less than or equal, the symbol of this formula uses the default font effect of the "symbol" style, that is, the font used is symbol, at this time, the symbols "greater than or equal to" or "less than or equal to" are expressed as and respectively. If you want to change the and symbol to the sum, you can change the "symbol" font in the formula template to the "Times New Roman" font in the above method to the and symbol. However, this method will change the font of the entire formula with the "symbol" to the "Times New Roman" font, and the first formula will become faulty, invalid characters may occur.

To solve this problem, you can separately select the identifier to be changed by selecting the identifier or symbol to be changed, and then click the "other" command in the "style" menu. In the displayed dialog box, you can select the desired Times New Roman font, or set the "bold" or "skewed" effect.

(2) Why is it ineffective for me to change the style or format of a formula (such as bold or skewed characters) after I double-click the formula in the original document?

I have also encountered this problem. The solution is to copy the formula to be modified to a new document and then modify it in the new document, after the modification is completed, copy the modification to the source.

This operation is very simple. You only need to double-click the formula, switch to the Public Editor Environment, and select the "Definition" option in the "size" menu. The "size" dialog box is displayed, and the character style is displayed on the left of the figure, it corresponds to the font size of the character style on the right. You only need to enter the font size in the input box on the right. Generally, the "lbs" is used as the unit, and the corresponding unit is equivalent to the Chinese character 5, which corresponds to the 10.5 lbs of the western text, the Chinese Character number 6 corresponds to the 8 lbs of the West, and so on. However, the default font size is larger than the font size of common text. The default font size in the document is 5 (10.5 ), therefore, the characters in the formula are larger than the characters in the body without changing the character size.

In addition, the preceding section describes how to change the character size of all formulas opened using this word template. To change the font size of a character in the formula, you can select the characters to change the font size, and then click the "other" option in the "size" menu in the formula Editor interface to open a "other size" dialog box, in the "size" input box, enter the required font size and point value, and then click OK.

(3) IfFormulas or images are not displayed in the document.This is the case where the system resources are low or the memory is insufficient. In some documents with many formulas, it is the most likely that the system will crash, the disk needs to be stored every short period of time; or the computer can be restarted to obtain higher system resources. If the document is too large, the document can be divided into two documents, so there will be much less chance of a crash.

HoweverIf it is word2007, it may also be caused by settings. Choose Start> Option> advanced> show document content and check the display image box, the next time the image is opened, the content of the image or formula is not displayed, but only the image box is displayed, to save resources.

(4)Convert formula to image format

When editing a document, select all the documents, and press Ctrl + Shift + F9, why all the documents in the document are in the image format, you can no longer open it in the public editor?

Because word links a formula as a field in the document, the above two shortcut keys are used to cancel the domain link, so all formulas are used to change to the image format. The link to the field in the formula is canceled. If you have saved and exited this document, you will no longer be able to restore it, and you will have to retype the formula.

Therefore, when editing important documents, it is best to Save backups of multiple versions to prevent losses caused by such "loss of domain.
