Number of equation at the end of row

[luba1525]

Hi all I have one question which i cannot solve in ms word. im writting my thesis, where i have few equations. I have to write the number of equation at the end of the same row, like it is in the inserted picture. can anyone help me?

You can use SEQ fields for this kind of numbering. Where does the "2" come from in "2.3"? If it is supposed to be the number of a heading style, you can retrieve it using a STYLEREF field. For example:

{ STYLEREF 1 \n }.{ SEQ MyEq \s 1 }

The "1" refers to the built-in Heading 1 style. "\s 1" instructs Word to restart the numbering following each Heading 1 paragraph in the document.

Here is how to create the fields: Press Ctrl+F9 to insert each pair of field delimiters, { }. Type in the code as shown. Press F9 to update.

To show/hide all field codes in a document, press Alt+F9.

You can use copy and paste to duplicate the fields, but you will have to force an update of the SEQ fields by switching to Print Preview and then back to your previous view (you can use Ctrl+F2 followed by ESC).

what about positioning? I've never used equations in Word, but would a simple right tab in the paragraph style help OP put the number – once he's generated it – in the right margin?

You can use a paragraph where you have already defined a tab stop, or you can use a two-column table without borders, insert the field constructs and save the whole thing as a Building Block for easy insertion.
