Setting Numerator Height Spacing in the Equation Editor
Summary: How to change the distance between a fraction bar and the baseline of the number above it. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)
When using the Equation Editor, you can control the spacing applied between a division line and the numerator (the part of the equation above the division line). This spacing is defined as the distance between the division line and the baseline for the numerator. The value you specify represents a percentage of the normal spacing that would otherwise be used. Thus, a value of 150% represents a spacing that is half again as large as normal. You can set this adjustment as follows:
- Choose Spacing from the Format menu. The Equation Editor displays the Spacing dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
- Click on the Numerator height box (you will need to scroll down some in the list of spacing settings). The Equation Editor changes the Spacing dialog box.
- Enter a numerator height as a percentage of normal.
- Click on OK.
