Thanks, glad its useful!!

Not sure.. I have no trouble typing a simple comma. What equation are you trying to type? Do things like standard fractions or exponents work fine? Are you using US keyboard (not sure if other input language keyboard may give different results)?

Wow, great compliment, thanks, glad its useful! 😃😃

1. You type arg <space> \above(x ightarrow 0) <space>. Do not write <space>. I just put it there to indicate that you have to press "space".The parenthesis is removed after formatting so if you want a parenthesis in the expression above the argument you'll have to write \above((x ightarrow 0)) 2. You mark the cell you want to create a matrix in and use the \matrix or insert one from the equation editor. A=[\matrix(\matrix(a_11&a_12@a_21&a_22)&\matrix(b_11&b_12@b_21&b_22)@\matrix(c_11&c_12@c_21&c_22)&\matrix(d_11&d_12@d_21&d_22))] It does not work if you just copy/paste the formula and press space at the end of the formula. Make sure to press space for each element (or block component) to make it format as a matrix before doing the same to the next element and so on.

Here is the video on how to set it up: th-cam.com/video/ZBzzUS4Cjoc/w-d-xo.html Once it is set up, you can use this shortcut everytime! If you're already familiar with Word Field Codes, you can skip to part 2: th-cam.com/video/gclYKPBENKE/w-d-xo.html

Open brackets as normal, then type “ \close “ and a space. This will close it.

As mentioned, this is a “demo” of what can be done. The detailed for each shortcut, depending on what you need, is in each video in the playlist in the description, or below for your convenience: Full Playlist - Tips and Tricks for Efficient Equation Math Typing in Word: th-cam.com/play/PLtLqKaRi3ZvK3UmSBcKFJVReJmyySMsSW.html E.g. if you want to type Matrices using Keyboard only: th-cam.com/video/oW6f3AqeWHM/w-d-xo.html If you can’t find what you need, let me know!

You’re very welcome!! 👍👍

Right? 👍

That’s strange. Which version of word are you running?

MS Word version 16.30. I got Office 365, but it should work in any recent versions. My OS was running MacOS 10.15.4 in the video. But this also shouldn’t matter with any newer versions.

I’m not sure. Are you running with the latest versions of Word?

Same here hahaha

Update: I'm using Windows and i found out Mac has that Menu bar we don't, for us it's in the Insert - Quick Parts - Auto Text - Save Selection To Auto Text Gallery. You won't be able to click last one if you didn't highlight text before that. I tried it and it worked just fine. :)

Oh thank you for finding this out! I don’t have a windows so I couldn’t help either. Glad someone in the community can help!! 👍👍

Wow, Many thanks for this comment masteronepiece!!!!

Thanks, I’ve been teaching for 14 years :) But we all have different things that work for different people. This software is what works best for me, after using LaTeX for years. But some may still prefer LaTeX, which has its own pros as well of course. I am simply sharing my experience in case there may be someone else who finds this useful like I do. Hope you find a way that works best for you too!

Very welcome Ranikumari! All the best with your journey!

Me too! Was a surprise for me too (and constantly still discovering new tricks and even faster workflows now)! Glad this can inspire or help others who may find it useful!

Aw, you’re a legend for commenting! Many thanks and glad it helped!

A trick is to use the syntax type “ \open “ or “ \close ” if you want want one side to be “empty”. See if this works?

I think the only way is to do a screenshot or via the snipping tool, if you want to get an image from a Word equation

This is very useful, I shall try it out, thanks!

Good Question. I found a "semi"-shortcut, but still requires 1 right-click from the mouse: After you type "\int_a^b" <space> and generated the integral, *right click ON the integral sign*, then choose "Change Limit Locations". I have yet to find a fully "keyboard way". If I do, I'll update here. In the meantime hope this saves you few fractions of a second (compared to the standard menu search and click method)...! But I am still exploring.

Looks like it is a default issue, and you will need to change some system defaults so it prefers the above/below version. Here is a reference I found, but I am not an expert in it: devblogs.microsoft.com/math-in-office/default-math-properties/

@@SunnyYu thanks I'll check that out. I have been struggling with this issue for some time now and looks like Word cannot set this right until today

@@grzegorzgomoka4647 No worries at all. Good luck!
