Choosing an Equation Style

Summary: You can define styles for different characters used in the Equation Editor. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

In the Equation Editor you can define styles that indicate how you want certain characters to appear in the equation. You select the style to use for a particular equation element by the following:

  1. Select the equation element or text whose style you wish to change.
  2. Pull down the Style menu.
  3. Select one of the defined styles.

There are six predefined styles for equation characters: Math, Text, Function, Variable, Greek, and Matrix-Vector. These are the styles you can choose from the Style menu. Two additional styles are also available, but are used internally by the equation editor: Symbol and Number.

Notice that the Style menu also includes a Style called Other. This is not really a style; instead, it is a way to apply a particular font and font size to characters in your equation.

Tip #922 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 6 | 95 | 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003


Great Idea! Word is a tool to get what you really want—printed output. This means you need to make sure that Word works as well as possible with your printer, whether it is sitting on your desk or in a room down the hall.
