Just insert and type your equation, leave a space and type #(1) in the equation box itself. Then press Enter EDIT: To automatically update Equation number, instead of typing #(1), replace the 1 within the brackets by the following steps as explained in the video (as from 0:45) 1. INSERT 2. FIELD 3. SEQUENCE 4.Name it EQ
For fuck's sake. It's 2018 already and you'd think Microsoft would be clever enough to implement equation numbering as a default feature instead of forcing users to use this painful and hackish sort of way to get equation numbering correct complete with section numbers.
Thanks very much! This was very helpful. There are others commenting that #1 can be used in the equation itself to add a 1 with a tab to the right of the equation, but this does not auto update when you add other equations and is definitely not the way to go if you are writing a big technical document. I find it mind-blowing that MS word does not yet have a better way to do this in a more streamlined manner considering the amount of technical docs/theses/etc written in MS Word. Anyway, thanks again.
Thank you, sir. It helped a lot and brought me lots of convenience when I was writing an article. Thank you so much for sharing the methods. I appreciate.
Omg what a life changer! I've been struggling with equation numbers for so long and it's such a trivial thing but I couldn't do it because it would ruin my formatting... this solution is brilliant!! Thank you so much sir!
Quick note: you can update any reference number by placing the prompter anywhere inside the reference text/number and pressing F9. The same works if you select large portions of/all the text in your document.
Thank you - this has been extremely useful to me . Having a large document with many equations, following exactly your steps - it is but a couple of mouseclick worth .
Hint for the hobby typographers (forced to be by M$) here: The equation number has to be right aligned (flush-right) with the surrounding text, not centred within its table cell.
Thank you for video. I am writing down my thesis and I started from chapter 2 and when I want to insert a number for equations or tables like 2.1, 2.2... in the caption it fixed number 1 and it gives me numbers like 1.1, 1.2... how I can change first number (before point) to 2?
Here is where I am running into trouble, I have defined my multilevel list as "CHAPTER-1", so while crossreferencing, it appears as CHAPTER-1.1 instead of just 1.1. Any idea how can I exclude the text in the heading number?
so i have to bookmark each of the equations to different name if i need to cross-reference all the equations? *I have tried "insert caption function" but it cannot just link the equation numbering, it kept links the whole equation to the context.
Most journals prefer Times New Roman but the equation editor in MS Word does not allow for this (without converting the equation to 'Normal Text' and lose all the nice features of an Equation). Is there a better way to change the equation's font? What font do you use for your entire manuscript? and thank you
And is it possible to set the begining individualy for each chapter? So it would be for chapter 2: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, .. and for chapter 3: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 etc.
How to make the number of equation by also including the number of chapter. Equation 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and so on. Thanks. I couldn't get what you have told. Can you please explain me? Thanks
!!!! If the fields show the codes { SEQ Eq \*ARABIC } instead of the values then go to file->options->advanced->Show field codes instead of their values (untick it!) then it should show it as "1" instead of "{ SEQ Eq \*ARABIC }"
Nice. However, I think it's a bit unwieldy when the numbers aren't automatically made "equations" in the cross-reference (alt, s, r) menu. But I was able to insert the equation numbers directly, although they are formatted the same as normal figure captions, but it works well enough.
This video should be updated with the numbering method Phuong Nguyen described. Inserting a table to get this done eerily feels like the bad formatting methods of early HTML webpages. It is best avoided when given the option to avoid it.
Just insert and type your equation, leave a space and type #(1) in the equation box itself. Then press Enter
EDIT: To automatically update Equation number, instead of typing #(1), replace the 1 within the brackets by the following steps as explained in the video (as from 0:45)
1. INSERT
2. FIELD
3. SEQUENCE
4.Name it EQ
You saved me so many minutes! That was a genius move. Thanks so much

@@nyakwarombako most welcome
youre the best ..im so geekishly happy right now because
How is a youtube comment a better source of information than anything I can find googling the question. Thanks very much.

Genius in Vain That’s not good at all. The numbering does not include section number which is very important.
6 years later and this still seems to be the best way to number equations. Thanks for the tip, helped me a bunch!

Thank you, this method has helped me for years!
(alt+equals) gives the quick access to the equation insertion, wasn't sure if you knew or not.
It doesn't
@@shivshambhuchoudhary1204 It does.
Awesome :)
Thanks! This is the kind of instruction video that prevents my laptop from being demolished by yours truly =)
Thank you, sir. It helped a lot and brought me lots of convenience when I was writing an article. Thank you so much for sharing the methods. I appreciate.
6 years later and still as useful, great tutorial man!
This is rad! Very helpful. I spent a good amount of time attempting to get equation numbers to follow the equation. Thanks
Highly useful video!
Very nice that you show absolutely everything with examples!
Omg what a life changer! I've been struggling with equation numbers for so long and it's such a trivial thing but I couldn't do it because it would ruin my formatting... this solution is brilliant!! Thank you so much sir!
Excellent, logical & systematic. You are technically sound instructor. We need more tutorials from you.
Great video. You made having numbered equation in word doc simple. Thank you!
This is a lifesaver since i am writing a masther thesis in engineering. Much apritiated!

Thanks a lot man !!!!!
It's quite neat method for writing equations and numbering them in word !!!!!!
😊😊😊
Thank you, this is very helpful while I write my thesis!
you saved me, currently writing my IB Math Exploration ;-;
Thank you very much. It has been very helpful every time.
We need more people like this on the internet
Thank you so much! This video is just a piece of gold!!!!
Thank you so much! This was clear, and useful! I can't believe I wrote so much stuff without ever knowing this hacks
You have a contribution to my Thesis paper as well. Thanks :D
Extremely good and useful video! Thanks!
BEST.TUTORIAL.EVER!!
Thanks a lot for the tutorial! Very helpful for me to manage the equations in my thesis.
Thanks for the tutorial. Brilliant demonstration!
Sir, I owe you at least a year of my life.
wow......really awesome to insert equation numbers in the document. Thumbs up.
Thanks for this video. I think the best way is to use Mathtype . It has many nice options for the equation numbering :).
This is going to save my experimental physics grade, thank you so much
thank you very much for ur explanation you have helped me a lot may allah bless
Very helpful. Thanks
(- after 6 years)
Thanks for the tutorial. Very clear explanation!
Detailed presentation. Appreciate for it.
Thank you - this has been extremely useful to me . Having a large document with many equations, following exactly your steps - it is but a couple of mouseclick worth .
I found this very helpful. Thanks for the great content!
This is brilliant, thank you! I can now come out of my pathetic Latex shell!
Great video! complete, brief and clear. THANKS!
You are like a Word wizard, did not even know about half of the tools you used in the first 2 minutes of the video hahah
So to cross-reference every equation one has to bookmark every single equation?
AMAZING VIDEO!
Many thanks, Doctor!
Usefull and straight to the point
Nice video, saved me a lot of time
Wow nice. I didn't know word was so powerful. Im starting to like moving back to Windows after all.
Thank you. You've been very helpful.
How do you refer to an equation so that the reference updates with the equation number?
Thank you
This was very helpful.
Hint for the hobby typographers (forced to be by M$) here: The equation number has to be right aligned (flush-right) with the surrounding text, not centred within its table cell.
Beyond helpful. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you. It was much useful.
You saved my life
Thank you again and again and again.
How do you use this method to include within a List of Equations?
This video helps me a lot. Thanks !

How to make the number of equation by also including the number of chapter. Equation 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and so on. Thanks
The same way, by adding StyleRef field before Seq field (I described it in my post: search for this topic with inurl:smps-power ).
And is it possible to set the begining individualy for each chapter? So it would be for chapter 2: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, .. and for chapter 3: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 etc.

Thank you very much. Bilion thanks. Love you :D
you dear sir are a ledgend!!!
How can I reference equations without have to create an indicator to each one?
To the point, and in a nut shell.
thank you, man. this was very very helpful.
such a life saver sir!
When I select the table, I can't click "new..." for an auto text entry
Thanks a lot! this was a useful video!
Awesome! Thanks a lot bud!

thank you sir! you save my day
awesome video! Thank you!
Thank you.
. . . and it also works on Word 2007
It's literally the tenth time I have to watch this video because this basic function is so complicated that I cannot remember it.
Many thanks... Was great.

Super useful. Thanks for sharing
Shot for the help man!
Cool! Thank you. Was wondering though how to add "Eq" by the side of the number ?
Very useful, thank you!
before you close saving auto-text, be sure that you marked global, not normal.dotm. in order to save the auto- text for future use.
Excellent tutorial thank you :)
Thank you it's very helpful :D
Very nice explanation...
Thank you! Very helpful!
Thanks a lot...😀😀😀
You are awesome
Thanks man
Wow, that was very good! thank you
Very helpful. Thanks!
