Equation line numbers
Interesting. Before I made my previous post this morning, I looked in
the Help file, which of course wasn't very helpful. I didn't find anything about it there. I've since found this tip, where Allen Wyatt describes how to do it with a macro (works in Word 97 & later: http://wordtips.vitalnews.com/Pages/...ader_Tabs.html I didn't find anything showing how to set a tab at the right margin without a macro, so that if the margin changes, the tab changes with it. If that capability exists, I'd like to know how to do it, so if someone can point us to the instructions... -- Bob Mathews Director of Training Design Science, Inc. bobm at dessci.com http://www.dessci.com/free.asp?free=news FREE fully-functional 30-day evaluation of MathType MathType, WebEQ, MathPlayer, MathFlow, Equation Editor, TeXaide On 5-Feb-2008, Suzanne S.

Apparently it's called an "alignment tab." I found something at
http://www.zdnetasia.com/techguide/o...2036053,00.htm. There's a MS page at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...341341033.aspx. From casual reading, you might get the impression that they work only in headers and footer, as that's the context in which they're presented, but the latter page concludes: "The Alignment Tab dialog box is only accessible when viewing the Header & Footer Tools, but they can be utilized anywhere in your document by adding Insert Alignment Tab to your Quick Access Toolbar. To do so, right-click Insert Alignment Tab and then click Add To Quick Access Toolbar." -- Suzanne S.

You can go one step further for convenience. The Alignment Tab dialog box
always opens with the Center option chosen. If you want a Quick Access Toolbar button specifically for an alignment at the right margin, without needing to show the dialog, paste this macro into Normal.dotm and make a button to run it: Sub RightAlignTab() WordBasic.InsertAlignmentTab Alignment:=2, Relative:=0, Leader:=0 End Sub Variations: Alignment:=1 is Center and Alignment:=2 is Right. (Alignment:=0 is Left, but that's the same as having no tab at all. shrug) Relative:=0 is relative to Margin and Relative:=1 is relative to Indent. (Apparently the Center alignment relative to Indent ignores any right indent, and centers between the left indent and the right margin. The Right alignment, regardless of the Relative setting, always aligns on the right indent.) The Leader numbers in the macro are all 1 less than the leader numbers that appear in the dialog (0 = None, 1 = dots, etc.). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
