While working through this tutorial, you have probably noticed that each of the

styles is also listed as a command on the Style menu. This allows you to

explicitly assign a particular style to selected or subsequently-typed characters.

The Other command on the Style menu can be used to assign any font available

on your computer to selected or subsequently-typed characters. Please see

Chapter 7 for further details.

Tutorial 9: Equation Numbering in Microsoft Word

This tutorial describes how to use the MathType commands for numbering

equations in Microsoft Word documents. Although Word has its own method for

numbering equations (captions), Word places captions above or below an item,

not to the side, which is typically how equations are numbered. Using the

MathType toolbar that’s added to Word, you can enter inline, display and

numbered display equations with just one click.

We’re going to create the following portion of a document to illustrate the

equation numbering commands.

We now have two basic equations:

(1.1)

cos sin 1θθ+=

(1.2)

cos sin cos 2θθ− =

Adding these two together, we obtain

cos (1 cos 2 )θ=+ θ (1.3)

Subtracting (1.2) from (1.1) gives

sin (1 cos 2 )θ= − θ (1.4)

Using (1.4) we can show that

cos

2 1 2 sin .θθ= −

However, we’re going to create it in a slightly unrealistic sequence, in order to

illustrate the power and flexibility of the numbering commands.

1. Run Microsoft Word and create a new document.

2. Enter the following text: We now have two basic equations:

3. Click on the

button on Word’s MathType toolbar, or choose the Insert

Right-Numbered Display Equation command on the MathType menu.
