### Equation Editor (click for details)

How-To-Use Equation Editor

• To insert an equation, choose the “Equation Editor” located on the right of the toolbar.

• A new window will open and you can type equations and mathematical functions in the box. There is also a separate area below the equation editing box to keep track of what is typed.

*Note: Make sure what is displayed in the area below is shown the exact way it should be written before you select “Copy to Document.”

• These Equation Editor Settings look good:
gif, Verdana, (10pt) Normal, 100, Transparent, Inline (only)
For example: $A^{-2}$ text $\frac{1}{2}$ More text to test $\int_{a}^{b}x^{-4}$ dx

• You can type in any character or symbol from A-Z,a-z,0-9,( ),[ ],+,-,= from the keyboard. To insert other mathematical symbols and functions, choose the corresponding operation button on the toolbar and fill in the content.

• To insert a formatting template (subscript, superscript, fraction, etc.)
$x^{a}$ Superscript
$x_{a}$ Subscript
$\frac{a}{b}$ Fraction
$\int$ Integral
$\frac{\partial }{\partial x}$ Differential
$\sqrt{}$ Radical
$\Sigma$ Summation
$\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}$ Limit

• To insert chemistry symbols (reaction arrow, equilibrium arrow, etc.)
⟶ Forward reaction arrow
⇌ Equilibrium arrow

• To insert Greek letter (alpha, beta, gamma, delta etc.)
Click and select Or enter a keyboard shortcut
Alpha α \alpha
Beta β \beta
Gamma γ \gamma

• To insert geometry
∵ Because
∴ Therefore
∠ Angle

• To undo or redo an action,
or keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-Z Undo the previous action
or keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-Y Redo the previous action
Clear Reset (clear) the content in the box

• To insert mathematical functions such as trigonometry, inverse trigonometry, or logarithm, click and select the “Function” tab to choose the corresponding operation.
