Math macros are ok for a complex/long formula that appears quite often in your text: you define it one time (which is a bit tedious) and then you can use it all over the place. (See the attached lyx-file for an example) If you have a lot of different fromulas, it might be helpfull to define keybindings for sub- and superscript: In my keybindings-file I have \bind "C-S-underscore" "math-insert _" # subscript \bind "C-asciicircum" "math-insert ^" # superscript So for water, I press H Ctrl-_ 2 Esc O. Note that I don't need to switch to math_mode with Ctrl-M, as Ctrl-_ does this for me (if not already in, but then I could simply use _ without Ctrl). PS: Question to the gurus: Could I have a function or macro that does this but also changes the font to roman? \bind "C-S-underscore" "math-insert _\mathrm{}" does not work defining a (math-macro sub 1) does not work either (font changes cannot be included in the macro definiton in a WYSIWYM manner, only via \textrm{#1} all in red) Guenter -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
