Hey guys,

I have two problems, which I am facing frequently when I use Word:
1. Usually, word cuts (forcing it to go to the next line) my formula at shitty positions, for example it breaks it down to 3 lines even though with 1 cut it would fit into two lines. Of course, I can always avoid this with a manual enter and force the cut where I want to have it.
However, if I am using brackets, this always gets messy because the brackets become large (see screenshot 1)



2. The sum symbol is different depending on whether I have it as a part of a fraction or lonely... How can I achieve that the sum is displayed like in the lonely case if it is part of a fraction?

Thank you very much in advance for your experience with those issues.

I also am frustrated with complex formulas and for years I keep Word Perfect just to make formulas that looked correct.

FunctionLeibniz = [(19 times 20) / 2]

Then on the next line insert FunctionLiebniz instead of your example whenever you need that specific function in a more complex formula. Other than that if you get a better answer I'll also be interested; I can't be much help.

How do I insert the formula you posted?

I have no idea as I haven't programmed in anything like VBA or any form of BASIC in almost 50 years; the last flavor of Basic I programmed in was the first; Dartmouth Basic by Kemeny and Kurtz as a freshman at Nevada Southern University - now UNLV.

John Leibniz when he was about 12, so the story goes, was smarter than his teacher and his teach told him add all the numbers from 1 to 100; Leibniz reasoned that 1 and 100 was 101, 2 and 99 was 101, etc. and therefor n * (n + 1) / 2 was the sum of 1 to n.

A C# or C function would be

public int SumToN (int n)
{
return n * (n + 1) / 2 ;
}


All I was trying to say is break your formula into pieces. I really don't have time figure out how to post a formula; I suggest you look on page 47 of the document below to understand what I was trying to convey as it is an example of defining yBar in (2.1) and then using yBar in the (2.2) to define sigmaHat squared.
