Setting Line Spacing in the Equation Editor
Summary: How to modify the line spacing used in equations. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)
Part of the reason for using the Equation Editor in the first place is because of the specialized spacing requirements and characters necessary for mathematical formulas. When using the Equation Editor, you can control the spacing that is applied between lines of your equation. This is done as follows:
- Choose Spacing from the Format menu. The Equation Editor displays the Spacing dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
- Make sure the Line spacing box is selected (it should be; this is the default when the Spacing dialog box is first displayed).
- Enter a line spacing value as a percentage of normal.
- Click on OK.
