[Issue] 'Prime' character, super/subscripts spacing

[jdpipe]

Hi all

I would like to write some stuff like "m-dot prime subscript p". I have used the syntax

{dot m}'_p

but it causes the 'prime' to take up horizontal space, such that the subscript 'p' is in a silly spot.

In Tex syntax, the nice solution is to use the '\prime' character, e.g. {\dot m}^\prime_p which works nicely. But it appears that neither 'prime' nor '%prime' are defined in OpenOffice.

Any suggestions?

Try: {dot m}binom{'}{p}
You can use the equation editor for some graphical help (menu View>Selection).

Thanks to add '[Solved]' at beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

That's not much good either, I'm afraid. See attached, which corresponds to the following input:

{dot m}binom{'}{p} " " {dot m}_p' " " {dot m}'_p " " {dot m}_p^{italic "'"}

You're absolutely right.
