Although it is nowMicrosoft Word 2016 exists, many people use the 2003 version in the old manner. And it is likely that when working a person may be confronted with the fact that it is necessary to write a formula in the document. Now we will just figure out how to insert the formula in the Word 2003 and talk about what to do if there are no necessary components.
How to insert a formula
So, before you open a Word 2003 document,which you need to insert the formula. To do this, in the top toolbar, click "Insert", and then select "Object". You will see a window called "Insert object". Here, on the "Create" tab, you must select an object called Microsoft Equation 3.0. After you have selected the required line, click OK.
You will return to your document and first notice the changes, the top panel is completely removed, and another one appeared instead, with the subtitle "Formula". We need it.
As you can see, the panel is divided into two lines. The upper one is required for entering mathematical symbols. The bottom allows you to display templates with multiple input fields to create complex formulas.
Also, no one has canceled keyboard input. That is, you can enter the necessary letters, thus it is possible to write constants, variables or comments if they are necessary.
Once you have written the formula, you needback to the document, use the esc key to do this. After pressing it, you will be taken to the source document, where the formula will be transformed into a picture. To continue working with it, just double click on it.
If there is no Microsoft Equation 3.0
If after you entered the "Insert" windowobject "and not found in the list of Microsoft Equation 3.0, do not despair - this problem is solved simply. Only during the installation of Microsoft Office, this component is not installed. To solve the problem, find the installation disk and insert it into the drive. Meanwhile, sometimes it helps to close all third-party programs.
Итак, диск вставлен, а значит, теперь нам нужно go to "Control Panel". In that case, if you have installed the operating system Windows XP, then you need to click "Start", enter "Settings", and there already select the item "Control Panel". After opening the window, go to "Add or Remove Programs."
On other versions of Windows there is almost a similar way to get into this utility. In any case, you can use the search in the system.
Before you is a list of all installedprograms on the computer, you also need to find only one - Microsoft Office (if this is not, then look for Microsoft Word). Next, click on it with the left mouse button, the "Edit" button will appear, feel free to click on it.
Now you have three choices, you can remove or add individual components of MS Office, reinstall them, or delete the entire program completely. Choose the first option and click "Next".
In the next step, initially check the box next to Word, and then next to “Advanced Application Setup”, and click “Next”
Now you see all the components installed with MS Word, we are only interested in one, so find "Office Tools" and click the plus next to it.
After that, the sub-items will appear.The next step is to find the "Formula Editor" item and right-click on it, in the context menu, click on the "Run from my computer" line.
Once you have done this, press immediately."Refresh". After that, close and open Microsoft Word. Now the item you need appeared in the "Insert Object" window, the introduction of the formula in Word 2003 became available.
After entering the formulas, they disappear.
So, we already know how to insert in Word 2003formula, and also learned how to add the necessary component for this - Microsoft Equation 3.0, but, to my great regret, there are other problems with the use of formulas. For example, now we will examine the situation when you entered the necessary formula and confirmed it, it simply disappears. The problem is quite common on Windows operating systems over XP, but, fortunately, it is easily solved.
First of all, it is worth discussing whata problem occurs. The fact is that once you have installed the program, it is not configured. To be more precise, the fonts are not configured, Word simply does not recognize them, because of this an error occurs, accompanied by the disappearance of the formulas.
In order to eliminate this problem, you need to put on the formulas the font that supports MS Word. To do this, click on the top toolbar "Style" and select "Define" in the menu.
You will see the styles window and next toline "Function" in the drop-down list, select the font Times New Roman. After this formulas will be made without problems. Of course, you can use other styles that Word supports, but the one presented is great for business documents.
Field codes instead of formulas
As you can see, knowing how to insert a formula in 2003 Word, you can still face many problems, so we continue to discuss them.
It is possible that someone faced the problem that after the introduction and confirmation of the formula, it is converted into field code, for example, in {EMBEDEguation.3}.
To fix this problem is very simple. Enter the "Options ...", initially clicking on "Tools" in the top panel.
Selecting the "View" tab, uncheck the box next to "Field codes". All, now after entering the formulas, they will be displayed correctly.
How to change the size of formulas and change the spacing between characters?
Вы теперь знаете, как вставить формулу в Word, but, most likely, you may encounter a problem when you need to increase the font size of the formulas or change the spacing between characters. This is probably not a problem, but a necessity, so this question should also be raised.
So, to determine the new font size,Start initially entering the formula, then select it and, without leaving the formula editor, in the top panel, click on "Size", and then "Determine ...". You will see a window in which you can change the value of all elements.
Well, if you want to change the interval, then on the same panel, select "Format" and in the menu click on "Interval ...".
That's basically all I wanted to say about how to insert the formula in the 2003 Word. We also figured out what to do if the formulas are not displayed.
