Hi, I use the equation editor ALL THE TIME, and I love it. However, I am
taking a statistics class now, and I am finding it hard to deal with the bar
accent. For statistics, the bar accent represents the average, so I use it
all the time.
My issue is, when I do another function, like \sqrt, I can type \sqrt( and
it gives me the square root symbol and an open parenthesis. I can type
whatever I want to take the square root of, and when I make a close
parenthesis, it puts everything under the root.
When I try the same with the bar, I type \bar(, and it gives me a box with a
bar over it, and an open parenthesis. Text I place between the parenthesis
does not get placed under the bar.
If I just type \bar and hit space, it gives me a bar and no way to put
anything under it (no box). I was wondering if there was a patch or some
other workaround other than typing \bar(, deleting the (, hitting left arrow
to get into the box, then typing what I want. I know this sounds trivial, but
it's a pain. Thanks!
