Is Microsoft Word able to break the line automatically in a long sum (if entered as a math formula), e.g. 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13

Is Microsoft Word able to break the line automatically in a long sum (if entered as a math formula), e.g. 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 + 20? Is Microsoft Word able to stretch the spaces around the + sign in the math formula to better suit the justified alignment of the paragraph? TeX has been able to do these since the late 1970s.
- jahewson 9y agoWord has had both these features for 10 years now. > Is Microsoft Word able to break the line automatically in a long sum? Yes. It can automatically infer alignments for broken equations too, something TeX cannot do. > Is Microsoft Word able to stretch the spaces around the + sign in the math formula to better suit the justified alignment of the paragraph? Yes. It can also stretch within nested math items, such as \left\right brackets, which TeX cannot do.
- lottin 9y agoMost importantly, does Microsoft Word support TeX macros? Because I'm not going to type a long sequence of commands every time I want a mathematical symbol in bold face.
- ygra 9y agoThere is auto-correct as an alternative to parameterless macros, otherwise no, as far as I know, although the last version I've used was 2010.
- chronial 9y agoIt probably won't support Tex macros, but Word has input macros and autocorrect, so you will be able to get your bold symbol in probably less keystrokes than in latex.
