Murray SargentвЂ™s blog is also a very good source on this and other related tips (he is the MicrosoftвЂ™s guy in charge of writing the code for MicrosoftВ Office for text edit). ThatвЂ™s it folks! You can download below a small Word document that implements this technique and that you can use for your next Fields medal contest entryвЂ¦ To add a new equation, you will only have to copy the table for an equation, paste it and then modify the equation content. In order to format correctly the result and prevent Word to push the equation number on the next line, weВ can use a hidden table with one row and two columns, the first one for the equation and the second one for its number. Word then shows me the list of my equations in the present document and I can select the one I am interested in, and then ask Word to insert the entireВ caption, including the caption text: When I want to refer to that equation in the text, I then only have to ask Word to insert a cross-reference, then select вЂ[вЂ as the reference type. I click on вЂOKвЂ™ and then simply add a closing bracket вЂ]вЂ™ character after the number, that for Word will be the caption text (usually itвЂ™s the title of your chart or your table). In that case I already created one for an equation, so no need to create the label anew, and Word automatically sets the number to 2. Word is no Tex, but at time itвЂ™s very convenient for writing and then adding some equations.The problem is that equation numbering is not automatic and you have to do it yourself, and the same apply when you want to refer to a formula by its number in the text. Then Word automatically adds a number that depends on how many captions with this label you already have in the document. Here the first timeВ we need to add aВ label clicking on theВ вЂNew LabelвЂ¦вЂ™ button. Also I use underneath a table in order to correctly format the result.ДЇirst we start in Word by creating a new caption, associatingВ it with a new label: The idea is to hijack Word caption / cross-reference mechanism that serves normally to numberВ charts and allows to refer to them in the text.

The problem is that equation numbering is not automatic and you have to do it yourself, and the same apply when you want to refer to a formula by its number in the text.Д«ased on entries I have read on the net (sorry I have forgotten the original references), I have devised a solution that is quite simple to use and that I present here, accompanied by a Word document that mayВ serve as a starting point for you when you start a new text full choked with equations! Word is no Tex, but at time itвЂ™s very convenient for writing and then addingВ some equations.
