An example is <span class="T1">oper %theta x</span>. Using the <span class="T1">oper</span> command, you can also insert characters not in the default <help:productname xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">%PRODUCTNAME</help:productname> character set. <span class="T1">oper</span> can also be used in connection with limits; for example, <span class="T1">oper %union from {i=1} to n x_{i}</span>. In this example, the union symbol is indicated by the name <span class="T1">union</span>. However, this is not one of the predefined symbols. To define it, choose <span class="T1">Tools - Catalog</span>. select <span class="T1">Special</span> as the symbol set in the dialog that appears, then click the <span class="T1">Edit</span> button. <text:s text:c="" xmlns:text="http://openoffice.org/2000/text"/>In the next dialog, select <span class="T1">Special</span> as the symbol set again.

Click <span class="T1">Add</span> and then <span class="T1">OK</span>. Click <span class="T1">Close</span> to close the <span class="T1">Symbols</span> dialog. You are now finished and can type the union symbol in the Commands window, by entering <span class="T1">oper %union</span>.</p>

Use the options provided by <help:productname xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">%PRODUCTNAME</help:productname> Math for working with superscript and subscript indexes. For example, type <span class="T1">sum_a^b c</span> in the Commands window to arrange the limits to the right of the sum symbol. If your limit entries contain longer expressions, you must put them in group brackets, for example, sum_{i=1}^{2*n} b. When formulas are imported from older versions this is done automatically. To change the spacing (gaps) between the characters choose <span class="T1">Format - Spacing - Category - </span><help:link Id="67342" Eid="indizes" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">Indexes</help:link> or <span class="T1">Format - Spacing - Category - </span><help:link Id="67342" Eid="grenzen" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">Limits</help:link>.

<p class="Paragraph"><help:paragraphinfo state="U" number="46" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"/>When you type information manually in the Commands window, note that a number of operators require spaces for correct structure. This is especially true when your operators are supplied with values instead of placeholders, for example, lim a_{n}=a.</p>
