[CHM 371] Equation Formatting in Word

[Andrew J. Pounds]

  Kim asked me today about formatting displayed equations in Word 
according to the ACS style guide.  As many of you had this issue in your 
first drafts I decided to respond to the whole class.

Displayed equations appear centered in the column with a reference 
number near the right margin.  This is not something most of you have 
ever had to do in Word and is not something that is easily done in Word 
as Word is generally not designed specifically for the scientist in 
mind.  (In fact after completing my dissertation I swore I would never 
use Word again for any of my scientific papers.)

Anyway, I found a good website from Microsoft that explains how you can 
get Microsoft Word to number the equations sequentially in your 
document.  Please check out the following.

Equations


If you have problems doing this just drop me some e-mail.  I'm gonna be 
up kinda late tonight working on calculations for some of my own research.
