xwp: Using equations

TCC Logo

The math feature in WordPerfect was originally created to calculate subtotals, and totals within a document. But you may use many different types of math formulas.

To use the math function:

  1. Position the mouse within the document where you would like to create the math functions.
  2. Set a tab at every column you are going to use.
  3. Define the math columns by selecting from the menu: Layout->Math->Define. A Math Define window will appear. Edit any changes, then click the OK button.
  4. Turn on math by selecting from the menu: Layout->Math->Math On.
  5. Insert the text and numbers within the math columns.
  6. Calculate by selecting from the menu: Layout->Math->Calculate.
  7. Turn off math by selecting from the menu: Layout->Math->Math On. (again)
