The Basics of Writing Equations Using Microsoft Equation Editor Microsoft Equation is an application within Microsoft Word (PowerPoint, Excel, etc. as well). You may use this application to create your equations and matrices for your Algebra 2B project. Getting Started:
ü Open: Microsoft Word + New Document
ü Type: Question using bullets, table, etc. for formatting
Inserting Notation:
ü Click: Location where you want the notation inserted
ü Select: One of two options below
Option 1 ( Equation Button ): Option 2 ( Object Button ):
ü Select: Document Elments Ribbon +
Equation ( ) + Insert New
Equation
ü Choose: Insert + Object + Microsoft Equation
Why two options? Some of the equations may be easier to do with one of the options compared to the other. You will need to decide which is easier for you. Option 1 ( Equation Button ): Design Ribbon:
