**Itronix** · 16-03-2009

To write an equation, whether in software programming, mathematical software like Matlab, for example, or in Word, you are probably using the linear mode. With Word, you can easily get in shape for such equations as they appear in books or as if you had written.

In Word, paste the equation to form, or enter it.

Select the equation, press the Alt key and while holding it down, press =.
Then click the down arrow of the component that appears and choose the Professional.
The equation is then formatted as if you had written.

You have a few choices:

1. You can hit enter at the end of an equation to begin one in a new paragraph. When you multi-select the equations, the "Align at =" context menu command will be available.

2. You can Shift+Enter to create a new equation in the same paragraph. Both the "Align at =" and "Align this character" commands will be available depending on what is selected (the group of equations) or where you've clicked (next to the operator you're aligning).
