Word 2007 Equation Editor Line Break Idiosyncracies

C

cfp

Does anyone have a work around for the following two issues?

1) Suppose you have a long expression which is a product of two sums, e.g.
something like:

A=[a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h][i+j+k+l+m+n+o+p+q]

Word will never insert a line break between the two products, nor does it
give you the option of doing this in the right click menu. Instead it will
break at "g+h" say, which looks awful and renders the equation virtually
unreadable.

Worse still if instead you have:

A=[a+b+c+d+e+f+g(B+C)][i+j+k+l+m+n+o+p+q]

then I have seen it break at "B+C". It seems to me that newlines should be
inserted as close to the top level as possible.

2) Say you have an equation that Word splits over three lines as follows

0=[a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h]

+\sum[i+j+k+l+m+

n+o+p]

Then the final line should be further indented than the first one, otherwise
it ends up looking like the "n+o+p" is not in the scope of the \sum, which
Word doesn't do by default.




Any work arounds would be much appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Tom
