microsoft word? how can i type a letter..........?

Question

how can i type a letter a little bit smaller and at the right side bottom of another letter, like we do in math and physics formulas?
like V1 - V2=...
how can write 1 and 2 smaller ?

Answer 1

There are two different ways to do this, depending on how complex the formula you are wanting to write is.

You can make the 1 and 2 smaller using the "Format" and "Font" menu and making them either subscript (so they go below the number) or superscript (so they go above the number).

If the equation is fancier then that, Word has an add-on program called the Equation Editor. It allows you to create math formulas and give you all kinds of math related symbols. In the "Helps" do a search for "Equation Editor" and it will show you how to use it.

Answer 2

it's not really microsoft word that does it, it's your computer. Your computer needs to have voice recognition software on it (many of the newer ones do). It will make you go through a processes to set it up (you have to go to the control pannel for this). After which you either say "dictate" or "command". When you open microsoft word, you can then say "dictate" and it will begin to "type" for you. I must warn you though, that if you are trying to do this because you think it's going to help you type papers faster or whatever, it isn't going to do that right away. You have to talk to this thing every day for MONTHS for it to get what you are saying correct. When i first set it up, I spent 10 minutes on ONE SENTANCE. It gets old. So don't think that you are going to be able to dictate a 10 page paper tonight, because that's so not going to happen, and at first, the computer is WAY OFF of what you say, you will spend more time fixing it than you would just typing. If you have TIME to train it to your voice though, what i said above about going to control pannel is how you do it. Good luck!

Answer 3

Click where you want to insert the equation.
On the Insert menu, click Object, and then click the Create New tab.
In the Object type box, click Microsoft Equation 3.0.
If Microsoft Equation Editor is not available, you may need to install it.

How?

If you originally installed Microsoft Office from a network file server or from a shared folder, you must install Equation Editor from that location. If you installed Office from a CD-ROM, you must install Equation Editor from the disc.

Quit all programs.
Do one of the following:
If you run Microsoft Windows 2000, double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon in Control Panel.
If you run Microsoft Windows XP, click Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel.
In the Currently installed programs box, click the listing for Microsoft Office or Microsoft Word, depending on whether you installed Word as part of Office or as an individual program, and then click Change.
On the Maintenance Mode Options screen, click Add or Remove Features, and then click Next.
If a Custom Setup screen appears, select the Choose advanced customization of applications check box, and then click Next.
In the list of features to install, click the expand indicator (+) next to Office Tools.
Click the arrow next to Equation Editor, and then click Run from My Computer.
Click Update.
Restart Word.
Click OK.
Build the equation by selecting symbols from the Equation toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.) and by typing variables and numbers. From the top row of the Equation toolbar, you can choose from more than 150 mathematical symbols. From the bottom row, you can choose from a variety of templates or frameworks that contain symbols such as fractions, integrals, and summations.
If you need help, click Equation Editor Help Topics on the Help menu.

To return to Microsoft Word, click the Word document.

Answer 4

Change the font size. It's that little box at the lowest tool bar and should already have a number in it like 10 or 12, depending on the default settings of your program. Good luck!!!

Answer 5

Insert>Object>Microsoft Equation x.0 (the x may be different with different version of Office like 2000, 2003, Xp, so on.)

Answer 6

press the subscript or the superscript button. One makes the number go down and the other makes it go up. The button (It think) looks like a number going up or down. Experiment those buttons. If you can't find the buttons, you should customize your tool bar.

Answer 7

If the subscript doesnt show in your toolbars, you can customize it and have it appear so it will be easy for you to just use it anytime. :)

Example: For V1
Type V and press with your mouse that subscript toolbar or something like that..huh :)

Answer 8

Everybody has given the answer.

I am giving you the shortcut.

Press "Ctrl =" for subscript.
Press "Ctrl Shift =" for superscript.
(Press the same keys to return to normal)

Answer 9

Select the "1", click "format" -> "Font" -> click on the checkbox called "subscript"

Answer 10

Type "subscript" or "superscript" into the help window and it will tell you.
