Setting Spacing for Radicals in the Equation Editor

Summary: Within the Equation Editor you can adjust the spacing around the radical symbol. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

A radical is often referred to as a "square root symbol," when, in fact, it is used for any types of roots (square, cubed, and so on). The Equation Editor allows you to specify a distance between the top of the radical and the top of any characters under the radical. You do this as follows:

  1. Choose Spacing from the Format menu. The Equation Editor displays the Spacing dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  2. Click on the Radical Gap box (you will need to scroll down some in the list of spacing settings). The Equation Editor changes the Spacing dialog box.
  3. Enter a gap value in points.
  4. Click on OK.

Tip #941 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 6 | 95 | 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
