Hi Theoderik,

attempting to find an answer to what I think is a simple question.
I have not been able to find instructions in OO or on the web site (or
anywhere else) on how to write subscripts and superscripts for
chemical and
mathematical formulae in OO Writer. I have to say the search was
exceedingly painful, physically, and accomplished nothing. The only
reason
I have this e-mail address is it was given to me off line.
What I have tried is going to the "Insert" then "Special Characters" then
"Subscripts and superscripts" and finding none of the numbers i need
to use.
I have seen formulae that were imported from other word processors
displayed correctly, but i have been unable to compose them correctly
in OO
Writer.
if there is an instruction on how to do this, could you please place it
somewhere where it can be found?
thank you for your time.
Good guides are produced by ODFAuthors. They are currently producing
documentation for LibreOffice. But you can use it as well, the
differences to Apache OpenOffice are small. You find the free pdf- and
odt-versions on http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/
Older versions are available from
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/OOo3.3_Chapters_ODT
You get nice formulas using the formula editor. So in your case the
"Math Guide 3.5" from libreoffice.org will be appropriate. If you like
it shorter, the older chapter "Ch9 - Getting Started with Math" from
openoffice.org might work as well.
Adding filetype:odt to your search criteria helps to get more relevant
search results.
If you have special questions, please ask on us...@openoffice.apache.org
or on one of our forums in http://forum.openoffice.org/
Kind regards
Regina
The OO.o Math Guide for v3.3 is available on the wiki[1]. This is the
.odt reference (also available in .pdf) which has the advantage that you
read it in Writer, so you can look and see "how they did that".
A quick guide to the syntax (actually, the appendix to the Math Guide)
is also available in wiki format[2].
