Put a newline after each equation, but put them all in a single inline cell.

Mike, Two ways 1) Start an inline cell in your text cell (menu>Edit>Expression Input>Start Inline Cell) Type in your equations with the alignment marker (Esc am Esc) in after each equal sign. Close the inline cell (menu>Edit>Expression Input>End Inline Cell). Select the text cell (or the inline cell, though this is a delicate operation, do it by repeatedly double clicking in it}. Use menu> Format>Text Alignment>On Alignment Marker. -- you will find that all single letters are now italic - you can select individual letters and change this - alternatively you can select the inline cell and use the option inspector (menu>Format>Option Inspector) to set SingleLetterItalics->False) -- you can put existing text in an inline cell by selcting it and using menu>Edit>Expression Input>Start Inline Cell, but you may have to adjust the line breaks after this. 2) use a grid box with a column for the equal sign and set the column alignments appropriately - but this maay give problems if you want text to run over columns. -- Allan --------------------- Allan Hayes Mathematica Training and Consulting Leicester UK www.haystack.demon.co.uk hay at haystack.demon.co.uk Voice: +44 (0)116 271 4198 Fax: +44 (0)870 164 0565
