Setting Limit Height in the Equation Editor

Summary: You can adjust the distance between the equation body and a limit line. (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 input summation and other types of equations that use limits. These appear as characters above the main body of the equation. You can control the spacing the Equation Editor uses between the top of the equation body and the baseline of the limit line. The value you specify represents a percentage of the normal spacing that would otherwise be used. Thus, a setting of 25% represents a spacing that is only 1/4 of normal. You can set this adjustment by following these steps:

  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 Limit height box. The Equation Editor changes the Spacing dialog box.
  3. Enter a limit height spacing that is a percentage of normal.
  4. Click on OK.

Tip #944 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 6 | 95 | 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
