Insert tab

Click Equations Option to Open Design window

In the Design Window, you have three Groups. This three group contains many icons which help you to complete your Document or Project, and also by opening this window, on Word page you see a new work board. On this working board, you can type your ideal Equations. These groups are:

      • Tools
      • Symbols
      • Structures

Some Ready Formulas

In this item, you have Five deferent options.

      • Equations
      • Ink Equations
      • Professional
      • linear
      • Normal text

Equation option has some ready formulas and Equations which has already made and save there. You can select them and rewrite them according to your need and use them in your documents.

Use the ready Equations

Here you have the last option (Save selection to Equation Gallery). You can use this option to save your own and favorite Formulas in Equation Gallery, and then use them. To use this option first, you should make your equation ready then select them and save to Gallery. When you click the options in new page you should write information about your Formula to easily identify it from other formulas.

Structures of Equations

Here we have various Equations, now as an example, i write a Formula. For writing your formula here, just you need to click on your favorite format then click on the square to fill in the blanks. In this example step by step, we are going on to reached the Sixth step.

      1. Click on Script option to start Writing
      2. Inside your big square click on Brackets to have to smalls brackets, then write your numbers in squares
      3. Then writes equal and click on Large Operator and write your numbers or symbols
      4. Here also click on brackets and go down select the other option
      5. Now you completed your Equation without numbers and symbols
      6. It is your Equation now which is completed
