I would like to arrange exression A Sum [ B_i ,{i,1,s}] into expression Sum [ A B_i, {i,1,s} ] Following transformation code gives unwanted answer: A*Sum[Subscript[B, i], {i, 1, s}] /. a_*Sum[b_, {i, 1, s}] -> Sum[a*b, {i, 1, s}] Result is A s Bi I understand, why it behawes this way, but I dont know the correct way. Thanks for your hints, Cyril
