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:

    • 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
