Adding mathematical equations and its reference in Microsoft Word

Hi,

In this post, we will learn how to add mathematical equation in Microsoft Word. We will also learn how to add the reference to these equation in text as well. This feature is essential in writing research paper.

Type '=lorem()' in Microsoft Word to generate random text, as shown in below animation.


To insert the mathematical equation with its reference equation number we have to add table. To add table, go to Insert Menu and select Table and specify its rows and columns. For our case, I have selected 3x3 to add 3 equations, as shown below.


Go to Table properties by right click on top left of table and select the width of table to 100% as shown below:


In column tab, specify the width of Column 1 and 3 to 10% and column 2 to 80% as shown below:


The updated table will be shown as:


Then insert equation in middle column by selecting INSERT MENU > EQUATIONS (under symbol group). Sample equation are inserted in below figure:


Now insert equation number against equation in corresponding right column by selecting REFERENCE MENU > INSERT CAPTION (under caption group) 


Now copy the equation number against each equation as shown:


Now select all (by pressing Ctrl + A) and press F9 to update all the equation references as shown below:


Now we have to add the equation reference in text. Select REFERENCE > CROSS-REFERENCE (under caption group) as shown below.


Equation reference in text is show:


Now, equations with reference number are added. Next step is hide all the table line by selecting None option in 'Borders and Shades'.


In the end, you can decorate the equation referencing by placing brackets around it.


Hope you like it. Please provide your valuable feedback.

Thanks.

Cross-Reference Image & Table in Microsoft Word

Hi,

In this tutorial, we will learn how to insert the reference of image or table. This is usually required in research paper where we have to reference the image in the text while explain its description.

So, lets get started. So first insert image by going INSERT > PICTURE and select the desired picture from the disk. Then we have to add caption of the inserted image. For this right click on image and select 'insert image' as shown in image below:



Then write text for the caption of the image in popup window:



Now, some text is added in Word document. Now we want to refer this specific image in text. For this, go to REFERENCE > CROSS-REFERENCE under the group of 'caption'. New popup window will opened. Select Figure and desired option 'Only Label and Number' as shown in below animation.


That's all. Reference to image has been added. For confirmation you can go to reference, it will show you it's link as shown below. By clicking on this link while pressing Ctrl will sent to that link. 

The most important point is that, if you add image before this image, Word will automatically numbered it to 2 by selecting Ctrl +A then F9 key. Word will automatically update both references, in caption as well as in text.

Same procedure can be used for referencing the table.

Hope you like this post. Thanks for your time.

Take care.
