[mystvearn]

I am placing some numbers in word, and I want to make " ( " bigger. Example of equation: (0.02/0.01). The captions bigger and the devide is a straight line underneeth the numbers. That I can do with underline, but the captions, I tried making the font size bigger, but it does not work. Anyone know how?

Try this, (I am on the 2003 version but this looks familiar from when I had XP) click on the spot in the doc where the equation is to go and from the Insert menu click on Object and then Create New. In the Object type box click on Microsoft Equation.

sdkfz is right on there. Microsoft's equation editor can be accessed through Insert >>> Object and then choosing Microsoft equation (I believe 3.0 is the latest).

Give yourself a little time to get familiar with it as it is kind of clunky and can get a little frustrating. Once you get used to it, it is hard to live without if you have a lot of equations in your documents like I do. Note that these equations will be treated as embedded objects (similar to an embedded picture or excel file) and not text if you need to edit them.
