# 6602 - Equation Editor:"\" for Commands as Text |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
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. |
Answer:
Details:
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 to the left. 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. 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. |
