Math AutoCorrect symbols

To insert a Math AutoCorrect symbol, type one of the following codes followed by a delimiting term. For example,

after you type a code, type a punctuation mark, or press SPACEBAR or ENTER. To ensure that the Math

AutoCorrect symbols appear the same in your document as they do in the AutoCorrect dialog box, on the Home

tab, in the Font group, select Cambria Math.

To insert a Math AutoCorrect symbol outside of an equation, you need to select the Use Math AutoCorrect rules

outside of math regions check box in the AutoCorrect dialog box.
