Thank you very much for this very helpful post If I insert equation in Word 2007 document, after I come out of the equation mode, the cursor seems to go somewhat in-between the space between the current line and the next, that is, the character's position gets lowered automatically. This feature can be very useful if you are taking math classes or use math at work and need to convert notes into documents.

Click “Insert” to insert the equation into your document. The equation, as you drew it in Windows Journal, is inserted into the grid area of the “Ink Equation” dialog box. Move the mouse over one of the edges of the selection and start to drag the equation to the grid area on the open “Ink Equation” dialog box. When the equation is surrounded, even if you haven’t finished drawing the red dotted border, release the mouse.

For example, typing times then space gives you a multiplication sign ( × ), typing -> then space gives an arrow and typing x_1 then space gives you x 1.Note that there are different ways of typing the same symbol.

You can use shortcuts when using equations in Word by typing a character or phrase then pressing space.
