Hi Allen, LOVE your tips! I've been coming to your site forever it seems!
Does the matrix dialog box referenced here still exist? I can't find any way to access it in Word (I'm running 365 with version 2201 build 14827.20192).
I'm trying to make a partitioned matrix (like this: https://images.slideplayer.com/39/10842003/slides/slide_3.jpg) but the closest I can get to it looking like that without just drawing lines is by using a combination of fractions, "right-vertial-bar-only" bracket structures, and spaces to get things aligned nicely.
Did MS remove the dialog box?

Where is this format menue for Matrices?
Got a version of Word that uses the menu interface (Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, or Word 2003)? This site is for you! If you use a later version of Word, visit our WordTips site focusing on the ribbon interface.
