In Word 2010, I’m editing a .docx document that contains a lot of equations, and strange quirks appear in some instances of text that’s included in these equations.
In particular, there seems to be a limit of 10 letters per word. Thus, ‘distribution’ come out as ‘distributi on’ and ‘underproduction’ becomes ‘underprodu ction’.
I’m not sure what equation editor or what version the author used to create these equations (possibly it was Equation Editor 3), but if I right-click on the equation I do get the option to go to Equation Object | Open. I select the text and make sure that Style (from the menu) is set to Text, but the problem remains: a break in the text after the first ten letters. If I set the style to Text
If, on the other hand, the Style is changed to Variable, the word appears without the unwanted break, but in italics, which is unfortunately not appropriate for this purpose.
I found an earlier, unsolved, thread in this forum which clearly involved exactly this glitch but where no one seemed to have spotted that the unwanted space appears when a word has more than ten letters http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread//116818-Text-display-spacing-wrong-in-Equation-Editor?highlight=equations
Can anyone suggest a solution?
