| *Simple to create equations and formulae for your documents!* |
| |
| Math is Apache OpenOffice's component for mathematical equations. It is most |
| commonly used as an equation editor for text documents, but it can also be used |
| with other types of documents or stand-alone. When used inside Writer, the |
| equation is treated as an object inside the text document. Similarly, one can |
| also insert these into other Apache OpenOffice programs like [Calc][1] and |
| [Impress][2]. |
| |
| Using Math, there are three main ways of entering a formula: |
| |
| - Type markup in the equation editor. |
| - Right-click on the equation editor and select the symbol from the context menu. |
| - Select a symbol from the *Elements* toolbox. |
