word and scientific notation

**ozchips** · 29-07-10, 12:19 PM

how do you insert scientific notation or write things for chemistry in word 2007 , there are some things built in , but is there any add on packs or suc which specialise in it ?

Select the item and then "copy"

Paste this into your doco.

Hopefully this is what you're after?

For math or physics I use MS Equation Editor (comes with intall pack in 2003, but i guess it the same in 2007). For chemisty is this editor can't help you try

You could just keep a word doc with all the symbols you need then copy and paste what you need. Here is an example:

Unicode, learn it it, it is your friend

(all my tutorial students get a Unicode rant at the start of the year, too bad I dont get to do this anymore!)

Thats what I use for most of the time when I'm writing my papers. I tend to avoid chemistry (all I want Chemistry to do is make big boom), but for all the Latin symbols Unicode pretty well covers me.

The first bookmark I have on my work computer is
