[Solved] Issue with Inserting Formulas

Post by saleem145 »

Hello,

I am using writer to type a paper. I go to the Insert Menu, Object and Formula. The panel at the bottom of the window shows up and I can type in the formula. But the dialog box which has all the options is not showing up??

Thanks,

Saleem

With the cursor in the area where you type the formula, select the menu View -> Elements. Does that do what you want?

How do I get a left curly brace only -- I want a formula with two lines -- something if a is true, something else otherwise...
