Title: Equation Editor: "\" for Commands as Text
Product: WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS
Number: 1012-10/93
Problem
You are unable to make a command or symbol appear as literal text
in an equation. For instance, when you type the word "Over" in
the Equation Editor, it is interpreted as a horizontal line.
Concept
The Equation Editor displays a command or symbol as literal text
when it is preceded by a backslash (\). For example, the word
"over" is an equation command, but you may want to include it as
part of your equation text. Look at the equation below. In
order for the word "over" to appear as text in an equation, you
would have to use the backslash to denote when to use "over" as a
command and when to consider it as text in the equation.
Over
----
Over
For example, the command line for this equation is \Over over
\Over. This equation may seem unusual, but it is a good example
of how you may use a command as both literal text and a command
in the same equation.
Solution
Use a backslash to display a command or symbol as text. In this
example, you will create the equation shown above.
1 Place the cursor where you want the equation to appear.
2 Press Graphics (Alt+F9), Equation (6), Create (1), then Edit
(9).
3 Type a backslash (\), then Over. Press the Space Bar once.
4 Type over to add it as a command.
5 Type another backslash (\), then Over.
6 Press Exit twice to return to the document editing screen.
You can view your equation in the View Document screen.
1 Press Print (Shift+F7).
2 Select View Document (6).
