200
------ X 100 = 40% (example 1)
500


200
____ x 100 = 40% (example 2)

500



These 2 examples formula is write in a "ugly way". I want write this kind of formula in microsoft word in a "pretty way" .

1. For example 1, I wan the ----- become a straight line.
2. But if I write using the way as example 2, the space/range between "200" and "the line" is too wide.
3. Conclusion, what I want is just like the math question/formula as we saw in math exam paper/text book.

Anyone can teach me ? thanks

I wonder too.

but, from my understanding, this:

(200/500)x100=40%

means the same thing right?

Ya...but if writing some presentation / report , we need to use the format of

A
-- X C = D
B

To make it look pretty.

Anyone know how to write it ?

There's an add-on in office. It's called equation editor. You can basically write all forms of math equations with it.

reinstall office and add equation editor

Thank you very much, finally can already.
However, have some problem when I use fraction.

Example, I want to type :

Total cost
------------ X 100
Total sales

But it will become :

Totalcost
-----------x100 (Because I notice I cannot use "spacebar" when using the fraction)
Totalsales

How can I use space ? to type "Total Cost" but not "Totalcost"

in office 2007, i only need to select fraction, then type 'total sales'

Mine is Microsoft office word 2003..
Anyway, problem solved after I search in google.
The way to use "space" is ctrl+shift+spacebar (quite troublesome).

Just download Kingsoft Office 2009.

It comes with an equation editor for free.
