Typing equations

You can use Equation Editor to add equations to an AppleWorks word
processing document or frame. (Equation Editor, an application by Design
Science, Inc., is installed on your hard drive with AppleWorks.)

To add an equation at the insertion point of a text document or frame, choose
Insert Equation from the Edit menu. You see the equation editor, which you can
use to add the mathematical components to build the equation. To edit an
equation you’ve already created, double-click the equation, and then make
your changes in the equation editor. For more information, choose Equation
Editor Help from the Help menu.

Note

When you finish adding an equation, you can format (move, resize,

rotate, and so on) the equation as you can with a draw object. See chapter 5,
“Drawing,” for more information about working with draw objects.
