Don't set Cell | Cell Properties to Cell Evaluatable. Instead, here is
a text cell with some text and an inline equation:
Cell[TextData[{
"This is a text cell with an inline equation, ",
Cell[BoxData[
FormBox[
RowBox[{
SuperscriptBox["2", "2"], "=",
SuperscriptBox["2", "2"]}], TraditionalForm]]],
"."
}], "Text"]
If you paste this into a Notebook and select the expression after the =
sign, and then do Kernel | Evaluation | Evaluation in Place you will
get the desired behaviour and the text cell will now become
Cell[TextData[{
"This is a text cell with an inline equation, ",
Cell[BoxData[
FormBox[
RowBox[{
SuperscriptBox["2", "2"], "=",
FormBox["4",
"TraditionalForm"]}], TraditionalForm]]],
"."
}], "Text"]
If you do a search on "Evaluate In Place" at DejaNews
<http://www.dejanews.com/> under news:comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica,
you will find postings on this topic.
Cheers,
Paul
