-	===Writing a formula in a NeoOffice document (text, spreadsheet, presentation)===	+
-	There are two possible ways to do this:	+
-	* Using the Formula Command window:	+
-	** Select '''Formula''' from the '''Object''' sub-menu of the '''Insert''' menu.	+
-	**: A floating ''Selection'' window appears and the document window is split, with the ''Command'' “window” appearing at the bottom of the document. The ''Selection'' window lists all of the groups of mathematical symbols and functions available, which appear in the lower part of the ''Selection'' window when clicking on the corresponding group icon.	+
-	** Click on an icon, e.g. ''Operators'', to show all of the items available in that group.	+
-	** Click on the icon of the operator that you want to use (in this example, a limit, an integral, or a sum).	+
-	** In the ''Command'' window, complete the formula by replacing the <tt><?></tt> with your desired values or operators. If there are multiple fields (<tt><?></tt>) to fill in, you can move from one to the next by pressing F4.	+
-		+
-	* Writing the formula directly in your document:	+
-	** If you are familiar with the syntax of the NeoOffice Math language, simply type your formula in the document.	+
-	** Select your formula and then choose '''Formula''' from the '''Object''' sub-menu of the '''Insert''' menu. NeoOffice automatically turns your typed formula into a real formula object.	+

-	====Creating a stand-alone formula====	+
-	* Select the {{menu|Formula}} item in the {{menu|New}} sub-menu of the {{menu|File}} menu. A document consisting of an empty page and the {{window|Command}} window attached to the bottom of the page will open, as will the {{Window|Selection}} window. Apply one of the two methods explained in the preceding section to enter your formula. The forumla will appear in the middle of the blank page.	+
-	* Save your formula like any other document; the file will be saved in the <tt>.odf</tt> format.	+

-	====Inserting a stand-alone formula in a NeoOffice document====	+
-	When inserting a stand-alone formula into a text document, spreadsheet or presentation, there are two methods available:	+
-	* Choose {{menu|OLE Object…}} from the {{menu|Object}} sub-menu of the {{menu|Insert}} menu.	+
-	* In the {{window|Insert OLE Object}} window that appears, click on {{prefName|Create from file}} and then on the {{button|Search…}} button. After you have selected the desired formula file, click {{button|OK}}. <br />	+
-	''or'' <br/>	+
-	*Choose {{menu|Formula}} from the {{menu|Object}} sub-menu of the {{menu|Insert}} menu.	+
-	*Choose {{menu|Import Formula…}} from the {{menu|Tools}} menu.	+
-	<!--*Dans la fenêtre de dialogue d'ouverture de fichiers qui apparait, naviguez jusqu'à la formule que vous désirez importer, sélectionnez-la et cliquez sur ''Ouvrir''.	+

About NeoOffice Math

The Math component integrated in NeoOffice allows you to write formulæ and mathematical symbols both in a Writer, Calc and Impress document, directly or as stand-alone Math documents. These formulæ are inserted as objects.
The method used by NeoOffice Math for writing formulæ, although not as intuitive as the methods used by MathType, the AppleWorks equation editor, or Microsoft Office, is very effective. It uses a language you will learn quickly, and provides a set of templates which will make your task easier.
