Help:Formulas/Formulas in MS Word

This help page may be useful to everyone who heavily writes formulas in MS Word documents. Special emphasis will be made on the formulas and matrices within the scope of Ifigenia. Please, note that the MS Word Equation's possibilities are much restricted, compared to TeX possibilities to render formulas.

MS Word Equation symbols and templates
Click the Equation Editor icon or choose to open it from the Insert menu, Object option. The Equation editor itself has several more important drop-down menus from where to set the font styles, font sizes and spacings of the various components of the inserted formulas.

The components of the formulas themselves can be
 * symbols to be inserted either from the keyboard, or from the virtual keyboard of the Equation Editor (sections 1.1 to 1.10), or
 * formatting commands, selected from the templates in the virtual keyboard (sections 1.11 to 1.19), as well as from the drop-down menus (section 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3).
