Question about openoffice.org math

[Nayna Saunders <na...@live.co.uk>]

 







Hi,
I've been using openoffice.org math to write up my dissertation and was wondering how you create pages or how I transfer my formula to openoffice.org writer?
Thanks

Hi

Regina is right : the best way to deal with formulas is to write them
directly in writer.

either you use the window edition
(Insert > Object > Formula) and you click on the buttons

or you know a little bit of OOMath code and you  write directly this code
for example : R = U over I     or   I = sqrt { P over R}
    (don't forget spaces around key words over ; sqrt ; ...)
then you select your code
then  Insert > Object > Formula     on your code => instantaneous
transformation
Press Escape two times to make your cursor coming back to your text.

when you get used to direct writing, you"ll never use another method for
simple formulas :-)

codes can be learnt by observing inserted ones when you use buttons

You can even create your own shortcut for inserting formula,.
(Tools > Customize > tab Keyboard and choose the Ctrl Key you wish  >
Modify > Ok)
 it will allow you to be still faster.

If you have got a formula as odf-file you need the long way: Insert -> 
Object -> OLE Object -> Create from file -> Search. Navigate to your 
odf-file and click on it. -> Open -> OK.

It is much easier to create the formula directly in Writer. It is not 
possible to drag&drop a formula file to your text document or to use the 
gallery for formulas.

You should consider to collect your formulas as Autotext. Or collect 
them in one text document, from where you can copy&paste the formula.

Kind regards
Regina
