Horizontal alignment
Equation numbering To align these two equations, we select each “=” and right-click-
select Align at this Character.
This equation is created using a table:

e ( B ) = ∑ ‖ I [ p ] −I [ p ]‖ .

Some large equations can be made to fit by using an almost
0 imperceptibly smaller font size (here 8.5pt instead of 9pt):
Creating a reference to “Equation (2)” involves two steps:
Mag E ( p )= ∑ w ( Δ ) E H [ S [ p− Δ ] + Δ ] .
 Click on the “2” to the right side of the equation, and perform H

Δ= p −⌊ p ⌋−δ ,δ ∈ 0 , 1 , 0 , 1
Insert → Bookmark with some name such as eq_x. {( ) ( ) ( ) ( )}

 Type “Equation ” and perform Insert → Cross-reference →

Line spacing ∞

Within a paragraph, formulas such as f^g^h may be taller than the

paragraph text, e.g., f g , resulting in uneven vertical spacing.

An alternative used in this paragraph is to force the paragraph line

Display versus inline
Display mode: A paragraph containing just a math formula, Hugues Hoppe (Microsoft Research) 2014-08-27
without any characters before or after the formula, is auto-
centered. (The period is inside the formula.)

∑ a+b .
i
Inline mode: To obtain this more compact style, append a space
after the formula (or place the period outside the formula) and set
paragraph formatting to “center”:

∑ a+b.
i
To preserve display-mode, insert text inside math using double-
quotes, e.g., " where " in:

∑ a+b where a≠ b .
i
