When the cursor is placed behind the formula, don't (pay attention to "don't") select the formula, and select "caption" in the "Insert | Reference" menu (in 2007, it was reference-insert caption). Since no item is selected, the item Location is grayed out, and a new label Formula 1- is created, and the selected numbered item contains the chapter number.
Click OK, and Word will insert the label text and the automatically generated serial number into the cursor position. If necessary, you can add parentheses after the serial number.
The number of the formula should be at the end of the right line. The specific method is: the tab stop refers to the position on the horizontal ruler, and specifies the indentation distance of the text or the starting position of a column of text, so that the user can align the text lines to the left, right or center; Or align text with decimal points or vertical characters. Users can automatically insert specific characters before tabs, such as periods or dashes. By default, when you press the Tab key once, Word will insert a tab in the document with an interval of 0.74 cm. The types of tab stops include: left alignment, center alignment, right alignment, decimal point alignment, vertical line alignment, etc. These tab stops are used in roughly the same way. Here, only the requirements of formula typesetting and the production of catalogue in the paper are taken as examples to illustrate the use method and effect of tab stop. For more detailed instructions, please refer to the help document of Word.
The formula in the paper is required to be placed in a separate paragraph, with the formula in the middle; Number chapter by chapter, and put the number in brackets at the end of the right line. First, enter formulas and numbers. The format of the formula is "embedded" and the numbers are enclosed in brackets. Then put the cursor in the paragraph where the formula is located, click the tab stop icon in the upper left corner of the page, switch to the central tab stop, and click the middle position of the horizontal ruler with the mouse, so that a central tab stop is placed where you click. If the position is not suitable, you can drag it with the mouse to adjust it.
Switch the tab stop icon in the upper left corner to the right-aligned tab stop, and place the right-aligned tab stop at the end of the line in the same way as the middle tab stop.
After setting the Tab stop, put the cursor in front of the formula and press the tab key, so that a tab is inserted in front of the formula. At this point, the formula is centered at the central tab stop, then move the cursor between the formula and the left bracket, and then press the Tab key to insert a tab, and the number will run to the end of the line.
It is very simple and convenient to use the tab stop method to deal with the typesetting of formulas, and there is no need to knock many spaces to move the formulas to the middle and push the numbers to the end of the lines. Another advantage is that if the length of a formula or number changes, Word will automatically adjust it so that the formula is always in the middle of the page and the number is always at the end of the line, and the line will not be broken because the formula or number becomes longer.
If you set the tab stop manually, there is no guarantee that the position of the central tab stop and the right tab stop will be the same every time. A simpler method is to save the setting of formula paragraphs as a style, and apply this style to all formula paragraphs, which is simple and convenient, and can keep the tab stops of all formula paragraphs consistent.
How to save the setting of a formula paragraph as a style: after setting the format of the formula (that is, the number has been inserted through the caption, and the formula is centered through the tab stop, and the number is at the end of the right line), select the formula and its number, and click Format | Style and Format, and the style and format bar will appear on the right side of word. Click New Style at the top of the column, and a new style box pops up. How to apply this style to a new formula paragraph: after the title is new formula number, select the formula and number, and select "My" in the "Style and Format" column on the right side of word. At this point, the tab stop setting has been applied to the new formula. Put the cursor in front of the formula and press the Tab key, and the formula will be aligned with the middle tab stop. Then move the cursor between the formula and the left parenthesis, press the tab key to insert a tab, and the number will run to the end of the line.
