Example of creating formulas as normal mode in paragraph, before manually converting to text mode. Example of paragraph after manually converting the objects one by one to text mode In text mode formula editor tries to fit the objects into one line height. Note that I had to do this 4 times for each of the formula objects, which software intelligence in open office writer could have saved for me. There are currently implementation issues (74359) with text mode which the formula editor group are working. As of now only the integral and fraction symbols display as expected within line height in text mode. So test with these only for now. There are several ways authors may find useful in creating formula objects. One way is to type a over b then select the text, Insert->Object->Formula which (I feel) is the fastest and time efficient. Another way is to do Insert->Object->Formula and then create a formula within the editor. In either case the current situation requires the author to enter the object and set it to text-mode. Equations also are presented standing out on their own. In such situations they may be associated with a style, which controls tab stops. It would be good to have a predefined style which has a special option in the dialog box during their creation, that indicates whether external objects (like formula editor objects) need to be squished into fitting into the line height, or whether to allow the objects to stay their natural height. The next line is in a style called equation and the equation is in normal mode Example of standalone equation Another advertised way to create formula objects is using the following “complete autotext” method (or whatever you call it). This too could be set to invoke the formula editor in normal mode. (1) start on new line (2) type fn (3) select the text fn (4) Press F3. You get the following result. Something like this is natural to be in normal mode.
