Fortunately, Microsoft Office 2016 offers some tools to make life a little easier. The the amount of special characters involved and the complexity of proper formatting can make it really tough. If you ever had to present an equation as part of a Word document - maybe you’re studying mat - you know manually entering formulae isn’t easy.
#INSERT EQUATION IN WORD GRAYED OUT HOW TO#
Need to put a math equation in a Microsoft Word document? Here’s how to make sure it looks perfect, every time. We felt that the Ink Equation facility really could do with an undo and redo feature, but we’ll see whether that materialises. You can get rid of everything and start from scratch again by clicking Clear. Click on that, and resume writing by drawing the letters with your mouse or pen. We can add to the equation using the Write button.
Click on the Erase button, drag over the element you want to remove and it will disappear. In addition to replacing individual elements as we have just done, we can also erase others. Word 2016 presents a list of alternatives with which we can replace the erroneous “n”.Īlthough the ink equation is not truly editable, we can manipulate it to a certain extent.
With the above misquoted equation, we chose the Select and Correct option and dragged a selection marquee around the “m”. We entered a new theorem we’ve been working on for a while, but Word 2016 had difficulty recognising the “m”:Īll is not lost! You can tell Word what it got wrong and select an alternative. Alternatively, if you have a touch device, you can use your finger or a touch stylus to write math equations by hand, and Word 2016 will convert it to text. In the writing area that opens up, draw out your equation with your mouse. To add your own ink equation, go to the Insert tab and click on the down arrow at the bottom of the Equation command. This new facility is a little shaky, and we’ve had varying degrees of success using it. Don’t get your hopes up about your new ability to add ink equations to your Word 2016 document.
