I have two questions about using the equation editor in MS Word.

I entered a formula into word using the Equation editor. See image below.

The problem I have is that I want to make the formula with a bold font. I have not been able to figure out how to to this. Anyone know how?

Also while in Eq editor is there a way to insert spaces. I have been using underscrores as I have not figured out how to insert spaces.

Thanks

I use the newer version, cant remember the name just now - but its by the people that wrote the one for microsoft.

In the help file it says that it handles all the spacing on its own, and will insert spaces where neccessary.

For your KHP, could you not use subscript? rather than spaces?
 
I am not sure I follow what you mean, subscript? For example; I wanted moles KHP but had to enter moles_KHP.
The Eq editor won't allow me to enter a space.

Thanks

I am more than willing to try a new Eq editor as long as it works with MS word. I do all my school work with Word. It would be a pain to change now...
 
superscript is like the following number '3'

X³

Sub script is the same, but on the bottom.

If you havnt found the button for super/sub script by the time I get home - then I'll do a screen cap for you.
 
This is a screencap of MATHTYPE, with the Subscript

This is the lite (FREE) version

Thanks Smu, I know what subscript is, I was just not following what your meaning was in using subscript to make spaces. Looking at your example I see what you are saying now, but that is not what I want to do. Entering chemical formulas such as KHP as subscript is not an option as many of the formulas must have subscript such as CO²(Not quite subscript but you get the idea). I just want to know how to put a space in a formula using Eq editor. I have seen papers done by others that have spaces, so there must be a way.

The reason I need to do this is that my chem lab class just switched from prewritten lab reports provided by school to student created lab reports. Yuck

As if I want to be a chemist. No offense Glyph
Maybe if I could do cool labs like Glyphs glow in the dark thingie I would like chem more, but just one more titration and I might go postal.

Nice of you SMUGangsta !
BTW, I seek a help for concept of how to perform reverse of "underscore" ? Shall I call it superscore !
Because, you know that we use in microcontrollers, logic circuits etc, words like MCLR*( actually it is MCLR with a upper score ), Q* ( Q-bar) etc. Printers and magazines manage this.

But in Microsoft word and Open Office how to go around? I think this topic came up once on this forum.
 
well for starters you can do it really easy with the ms eqasion editor built into word (unless you de-slected it during install)

just type what you want, select it and click the button highlighted in the attachment.

i'll think about how to do it direct from word and get back to you.
