  1. Using Equation EditorA Brief Tutorial and Walk-Through

  2. This tutorial will help you to: • Locate the equation editor • Use the menu structure to set up an equation template • With the appropriate symbols, fill in the equation template • Use your equation to create sample calculations

  3. To this: And be able to show sample equations like this: Using Equation Editor, you can: • Go from displaying equations like this: Centripetal Force: Fcent = ((4*π²*M)/(T²))*r Let's Begin. . .

  4. Centripetal Force: Fcent = ((4*π²*M)/(T²))*r • Under the Insert tab, Select the Equation menu item Here is our equation as displayed using simple text for reference

  5. A number of built-in equation templates will appear • Select “Insert New Equation” near the bottom of the drop-down menu

  6. Centripetal Force: Fcent = ((4*π²*M)/(T²))*r • A text-box like object will appear • The Equation Tools Menu bar will become visible • Begin by choosing template items from the drop down menus

  7. Centripetal Force: Fcent = ((4*π²*M)/(T²))*r • Select the appropriate template items from the drop down menus • Tip: Plan ahead! • Start with the largest structures and move to smaller ones.

  8. Centripetal Force: Fcent = ((4*π²*M)/(T²))*r • Click on the individual template items to fill them in • The template items can be filled with numbers, text, symbols or additional template items

  9. In this example: (in order) • A subscript template item • “=” from keyboard • A fraction template • Upper fraction template • 4, superscript template, M • Lower fraction template • Superscript template • “r” from keyboard

  10. Symbols can be added to your equation • Select the box where the symbol is to be placed • Click on the appropriate symbol from the design menu

  11. Add text to describe the equation. • Give each equation its own line • Number equations for easy reference later

  12. Equations can be cut, copied and pasted • This also applies within the equation template

  13. Highlight and copy the portion of your equation for use as a sample calculation • Add an equal sign • Paste the copied portion at the end of your equation

  14. Change the values of the copied portion of your equation to reflect your data • Make sure to type these correctly and use proper units • Introduce your sample calculation by referencing the equation number and stating which data were used for the calculation

  15. Using Equation Editor • Concluding Remarks and Tips: • Use Equation Editor to produce textbook quality equations for your reports • Microsoft Word with the Equation Editor functionality is available on most University computers • Other methods for creating and editing equations are possible (OpenOffice, LaTex, web-based editors, etc.) Your instructor may not be able to help if you run into problems using these other methods.
