The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSA fraction, such as a/b, that is created by using the following equation field, does not display or print underline formatting:
CAUSEThe field result extends into the baseline. WORKAROUNDUse one of the following workarounds to position the equation so that the underline formatting will be displayed and will print. Method 1: Use Equation EditorCreate the equation using Equation Editor, and then underline the Equation Editor object.NOTE: If you need to adjust the position of the equation, click to select the equation object, and then on the Format menu, click Font. Click to select the Character Spacing tab, change the Position box to Raised, and then click OK. Method 2: Use an Equation FieldCreate an equation field that places the result above the baseline.For example, to create the fraction a/b, create the following equation:
In this equation, EQ represents the field name, Equation. Notice that the
second equation, {EQ _\d\ba8()\s\up5(a)}, is nested inside the first
equation. This second equation creates a fraction, "a" over "_". The "_"
is included to provide the horizontal bar that separates the numerator
from the denominator. The denominator is created in the first equation,
{EQ
b\d\ba8()\s\up20(<nested equation>)}.
Within each equation, the \d\ba8() moves the preceding characters, "b" and "_", respectively, horizontally to the left by 8 points. The \s\up20(<nested equation>) and \s\up5(a) superscripts the corresponding nested equation or character by 20 points and 5 points, respectively. Notice that the numerator and denominator positions are in opposite positions from their position in the {EQ \f(a,b) equation described in the "Symptoms" section of this article. NOTE: The point sizes used here can be adjusted upward or downward to properly adjust your text. STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
