Microsoft word equation text size6/25/2023 ![]() That's the distance from the "baseline" of the text to the bottom-most part of the equation. This means the equation's "baseline" shift is 6 points. First, consider the tallest equation in the paragraph. Finding out the proper value is somewhat trial & error, but MathType helps you find a starting point. If we want our paragraph spacing to be the same from one line to the next, we'll have to set it to "exactly" some value. That's the way Microsoft Word handles a case like this though it adjust spacing so that the objects "just fit", adding a bit of padding, and as a result the spacing is uneven from one line to the next. Whatever you decide, it's the right decision.) Many people object to the appearance of "Single" because the spacing of the 4 lines is not uniform from one line to the next. For instance, if your text is 10-point, you would use 5-point if it is 11-point, you would use 5.5-point. A good rule of thumb is to simply make the font size 50 of whatever type size your normal text is. (What's "good" and "bad" in a document, and what "looks right" is in the end up to you anyway. (It is just simpler that way.) You can, if you so desire, just adjust the point size of the font used for the numerator and denominator. If you like this appearance, keep the spacing set to Single and be done with it. That's an improvement since now the full equations show. Whether Windows or Mac, in the Spacing section of the ensuing dialog, Line spacing is what we need to adjust. In Word for Mac, choose Paragraph from the Format menu. ![]() This is the diagonal arrow in the lower right of the group: In the Paragraph group, click the dialog box launcher. If you're not sure how to do that, in Windows, first click the Home tab in Word. Note: Perhaps you're working with a document you got from a colleague, and you're not the one who set the paragraph spacing to begin with.
