No jargon. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. You can then type the equation or handwrite it. Select MathType as preferred equation editor by going to Pages menu, preferences, then in Equation preferences selecting to use MathType. To insert an equation, go to insert. Equations, then type equation in dialog box that appears. Use MathType when inserting math equations in D2L. When creating content hit the "Show All Components" button. Then in the drop-down equation menu, select Graphical equation.
A MathType window will then appear to type or handwrite the equation. LaTeX is a math markup language familiar to many in the science and math community, but unfortunately is not currently supported by screen reader technology. For example, provides a number of integration palettes. Some of these have a placeholder only for the integrand, some for the integrand plus lower limit, some for the integrand plus lower plus upper limits.
The palette contains templates for fractions and radicals. To insert a template, select the desired template from the appropriate palette button and fill in the template place holders. Place holders can contain keyboard characters, characters from symbol palettes, or other templates. For example an integrand can be a fraction template, and the numerator of the fraction can be a square root template. A flashing right angled cursor indicates where you are about to enter information on the equation.
The horizontal bar of the cursor marks the base line of the symbols to be entered. The vertical bar indicates the height. You can set the insertion point by clicking with the mouse, or with the keyboard. To enter the equation start the equation editor and:. As you are entering the equation, you can backspace at any time. You can also select parts of the equation with the mouse, and delete. Brackets, parentheses and braces that grow with the enclosed text should be selected from the template. Matrices of any size can be created from the template.
Please watch stacking and matrices video. Equations can be stacked in a pile. To do this, simply press the Return key to begin a new line. To align this pile at a character, such as an equal sign, choose "align at" from the Format menu.
Also try using the alignment symbol , to align equations. Please watch editing an existing equation video. An existing equation can be edited either by double clicking on it, or by right clicking on it and selecting Equation Object , and either Open or Edit.
Most people do not want to move their hands from the keyboard to the mouse all the time to select palettes. A number of keyboard shortcuts are available. Equations can appear in-line in a line of text.
The line spacing will adjust accordingly. If you wish to have equations appear in a paragraph by themselves, simply press Return before and after the equation. To align an equation, click on the equation to select it, and then click on the appropriate alignment button. You can also right click on the equation in Word and choose Format Object to control somewhat how the equation works with the text from the Layout tab. Equations to be numbered are usually centered with the number at the right margin.
Numbering can be done by inserting sequencing fields. Word is now in a position to be extremely helpful and do something you don't want. If the "Automatic Bulleted List" autoformatting option is turned on, and you enter an equation in the manner described below, Word will think you are starting a bulleted list with the equation as the bullet character. I know this sounds far fetched, but it is true. To change this, select Tools, Autocorrect. In both the Autoformat and "Autoformat as you type" tabs, make sure that "Automatic bulleted lists" is not checked.
If you add equations in the middle of the document, or delete equations, the numbers will not automatically be updated. To have them updated, choose Edit, Select All, and then press F9. It is probable that you may not want to have that centering and right aligning tab for your complete document, but only for your equations. In that case you may find it awkward to set the tabs each time you enter an equation.
To get around that, the easiest way would be to create a Style called possibly, Equation. Once you have assigned keyboard shortcuts to your equation style and equation macro and possibly other things , it is nice to have a list of them in case you forget.
You may wish to create a cross reference to an equation, a statement in your document such as "As was shown in Equation At first glance it would appear that you could do an Insert,Cross-reference and select "Equation" as the reference type.
However, this will only work if you let Word caption your equations, and Word will only caption an equation above or below the equation, which is not acceptable. The only way to cross reference an entity that you have numbered yourself via a seq Field, is to Bookmark the sequence number.
If you add or delete equations, cross reference numbers will not be updated automatically, but forcing an update is easy. Simple choose Select All from the Edit menu, and press the F9 key. Please watch the automatically opening equation editor in a new window video. As mentioned at the beginning of this document, the procedures for inserting and editing equations in Word are the same as for PowerPoint. The differences lie in the aligning of the equations and referencing.
These similarities and differences are noted below:. Service desk information helpdesk uwaterloo. The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples.
