Word 2016 and PowerPoint 2016 join OneNote 2010 (and later) in offering a way to display equation numbers flushed to the right margin. To enter an equation number using the linear format (see Section 3.21), type the equation followed by a # (U+0023) followed by the desired equation number text and hit Enter. For example, E=mc^2#(30) ⏎ renders as
(30) |
Internally this layout is created with an equation array in which the # character acts as a marker telling the LineServices math handler to flush what follows the # to the right margin. Because equation arrays allow you to align parts of multiple equations vertically, you can use a nested equation array with line breaks and appropriate &’s to get arbitrary inter-equation alignments as explained in the equation-array post.

Works Well I needed something to generate equations for a presentation that I am assembling. In the past I have used the equation editor in Word, but that is no longer an option as I have not kept up with the upgrade cycles. Tip: For assistance editing an equation, click the Equation Editor Help menu, and then click Equation Editor Help. To update your document with the edited equation, on the Equation Editor menu, click Quit Equation Editor.
Where Is The Equation Editor In Word
Flushing the equation number to the right margin is key, but in addition, one needs a way to number the equations automatically and refer to them in the text. Chapter 6 of the book Creating Research and Scientific Documents using Microsoft Word gives a method for doing just that. The approach inserts a center tab before the equation and a right tab before the equation number. While this works well for simple equations, it currently forces the equation to use inline typography, for which integral signs and the like are small rather than large as in display-mode typography (TeX $..$ vs $$..$$). This behavior is illustrated in the earlier post. So for Word 2016, the book approach can be updated to use the equation array # option instead of the flush-right tab.
The book explains how to number equations in Word automatically using the Equation Caption, which is based on Word’s handy SEQ Equation field. The other Office applications don’t have this feature unfortunately. The way it works is as follows. On the REFERENCES ribbon tab
1) Click on “Insert Caption”
2) Choose the Equation label
3) Check the “Exclude label from caption” box

4) Hit the OK button
5) Insert a ( in front of your equation number and a ) after the number Video metadata editor for mac.
6) Change the formatting as desired preferably using an equation style with the formatting you like

You can copy/paste this parenthesized equation number to insert equation numbers for other equations in your paper. Word automatically numbers all such entries sequentially.
To refer to an equation number, you first need to bookmark it. Select its Equation Caption with or without the enclosing parentheses and in the INSERT ribbon tab click on Bookmark. Give the equation number a name starting with “eq” so that you can tell equation numbers apart from other kinds of bookmarks and click on Add.
Wherever you want to reference an equation number, insert a Cross reference to the equation number’s bookmark. Specifically, on the INSERT ribbon tab
1) Click on the Cross-reference button
2) In the Reference type box, choose Bookmark Online pdf editor without watermark.
3) Select the bookmark you want to refer to
4) Ensure the “Insert reference to:” box contains “Bookmark text”
5) Click Insert
If the bookmark doesn’t include the parentheses and you want them in the cross reference, you can enclose the cross reference in parentheses. If you don’t need flexible publishing style requirements, it’s simpler to include the parentheses in the bookmark itself. To update the cross references, type ctrl+a to Select All and F9 to update all the fields.
If you want to include chapter numbers in the equation numbers, in the Insert Caption dialog, click on Numbering… and check the “Include chapter number” box. The dialog gives options for how the chapters are defined using heading styles.
The equation handlers used in Microsoft Office have an elegant layout mechanism for equation numbers using the math paragraph, which also supports automatic equation wrapping and flexible equation alignments. The equation numbers can be placed on the left side or the right side and positioned vertically in various ways. In this connection, it might be worth modifying Word to treat a math zone that fills the [soft] paragraph aside from an optional leading center tab and a trailing right tab followed by text (the equation caption) as a display math zone. This would allow equation wrapping, something that has to be done a bit by hand with the equation-array approach. This “tabbed” math zone could be a way to represent the basic math-paragraph equation-number functionality in files. Another nice feature would be if inserting a cross reference, you could use Equation instead of Bookmark and see the current equation numbers without any surrounding text so that you wouldn’t have to create bookmarks. Inserting a caption always wants to include extra text unless the equation number is alone on a line. The bookmark lets you select the precise text you want in the cross reference.
The equation-array approach can also have arbitrary equation wrapping and alignments, but line wrapping isn’t automatic and you may need to insert appropriate markers to get what you want. So it’d be nice to follow through with the math paragraph approach someday. The present approach does work well for most purposes and is pretty easy to use. Enjoy!
I'm sorry I just this afternoon saw this thread, and despite the fact that it's several months old, there are so many inaccuracies here that as a Design Science insider I felt compelled to respond. (Before I go on, I realize the term Equation Editor is potentially confusing here, since there are 2 of them. In my response below, I will use that term only to refer to our equation editor -- the one that has been packaged with Microsoft Office since Office 2.0. This is the one that has a similar appearance to, and looks somewhat like a cut-down version of, MathType. The 'new equation editor' that Microsoft introduced with Word 2007 on Windows, and is now integrated into Word 2011 and 2016, is correctly called the 'OMML editor', so that's the term I'll use below. The OMML editor is a Microsoft creation, not a Design Science one.)
So, in no particular implied order of importance, here goes..
- It's completely incorrect that the Equation Editor license ran out, expired, was canceled, or anything of the sort. I know at least 2 people in this thread, and would vouch for their credibility. I'm sure everyone else here just wants the truth as well, so I don't think it's important where the 'expired license' rumor began, but I just want you to know it's not true. This is not why Equation Editor (aka Microsoft Equation 3.0) is missing from Office 2016 for Mac.
- It is correct that the OMML editor cannot edit Equation Editor equations. Nor can it edit MathType equations.
- It's correct that the latest version of MathType for Mac (version 6.7h) cannot integrate into Office 2016 for Mac.
- It's not correct that it's possible to use MathType 6.7h with Word 2016 by going to the Insert Object dialog. The only objects listed on that dialog are Word and Excel objects. MathType is not listed there, and cannot be added to the dialog. (Nor is Equation Editor in that list.)
- One of John Korchok's replies is so good that I'll just repeat it here, to emphasize why MathType does not [yet] work with Word 2016, and why it's taking so long to get it there: 'Office 2016 for Mac is unique in that it follows Apple's new protocols for sandboxing applications. From what I gather, this is making it difficult to implement Add-Ins, MathType among them. I know that 2016's VBA capabilities are severely compromised, and many Add-Ins depend on VBA.' We're working on it! In fact, we want MathType to integrate into Office 2016 just as much as you want to be able to use it there. We're just not there yet. We're working with Microsoft to make it happen.
- Yes, it's possible to provide a stand-alone version of Equation Editor, and if you have or had Office 2011 installed, you probably still have one. It won't work with Office 2016 though -- not if you want an equation you can edit, that is. Whatever you create in Equation Editor and paste into Word 2016 will paste as an image. If you need to edit it, you'll need to replace it with a completely different one. Also, it will not be nicely-aligned vertically with the text of your document.
- As John K also said, 'However, if you're in love with Equation Editor 3, you can buy MathType. It has all of the features of EE3, plus more.' That's very true, but like I've already said, it doesn't yet work with Office 2016. (There are some things that will work, and the list is somewhat long, so if you'll write us at support at dessci.com, we'll be glad to let you know what works and what doesn't. We can also add you to our list of customers who will get first notification when a compatible version of MathType is ready.)
- michaeljcarroll's reply, just a few replies above mine, is good. Read it.
Hope that's been helpful.
