How to Insert Equations Numbers in Word 2016

[@sanc9008]

Just insert and type your equation, leave a space and type #(1) in the equation box itself. Then press Enter EDIT: To automatically update Equation number, instead of typing #(1), replace the 1 within the brackets by the following steps as explained in the video (as from 0:45) 1. INSERT 2. FIELD 3. SEQUENCE 4.Name it EQ

How is a youtube comment a better source of information than anything I can find googling the question. Thanks very much.

[@AlqGo]

For fuck's sake. It's 2018 already and you'd think Microsoft would be clever enough to implement equation numbering as a default feature instead of forcing users to use this painful and hackish sort of way to get equation numbering correct complete with section numbers.

[@AlqGo]

Genius in Vain That’s not good at all. The numbering does not include section number which is very important.

[@joesutton3023]

6 years later and this still seems to be the best way to number equations. Thanks for the tip, helped me a bunch!

[@bowmanryan2779]

(alt+equals) gives the quick access to the equation insertion, wasn't sure if you knew or not.

[@shivshambhuchoudhary1204]

It doesn't

[@krishnavenkatesh8039]

[@uniqued4ve]

Awesome :)

[@mike-aleckearney4815]

Thanks very much! This was very helpful. There are others commenting that #1 can be used in the equation itself to add a 1 with a tab to the right of the equation, but this does not auto update when you add other equations and is definitely not the way to go if you are writing a big technical document. I find it mind-blowing that MS word does not yet have a better way to do this in a more streamlined manner considering the amount of technical docs/theses/etc written in MS Word. Anyway, thanks again.

[@pepegomez7615]

Thank you, this method has helped me for years!

[@roypeijen]

Thanks! This is the kind of instruction video that prevents my laptop from being demolished by yours truly =)

[@teodorconstantinescu811]

Quick note: you can update any reference number by placing the prompter anywhere inside the reference text/number and pressing F9. The same works if you select large portions of/all the text in your document.

[@weisun957]

Thank you, sir. It helped a lot and brought me lots of convenience when I was writing an article. Thank you so much for sharing the methods. I appreciate.

[@thomaskirsch2209]

This is rad! Very helpful. I spent a good amount of time attempting to get equation numbers to follow the equation. Thanks

[@ilonaserafin8606]

Omg what a life changer! I've been struggling with equation numbers for so long and it's such a trivial thing but I couldn't do it because it would ruin my formatting... this solution is brilliant!! Thank you so much sir!

[@pultruder_alert424]

6 years later and still as useful, great tutorial man!

[@OleMariusSvendsen]

This is a lifesaver since i am writing a masther thesis in engineering. Much apritiated!

[@alehsudakou1277]

Highly useful video! Very nice that you show absolutely everything with examples!

[@mjz2mjz92]

Excellent, logical & systematic. You are technically sound instructor. We need more tutorials from you.

[@ganondorfchampin]

How do you refer to an equation so that the reference updates with the equation number?

[@JJGhostHunters]

How do you use this method to include within a List of Equations?

[@MahtabAlam-uf8db]

Here is where I am running into trouble, I have defined my multilevel list as "CHAPTER-1", so while crossreferencing, it appears as CHAPTER-1.1 instead of just 1.1. Any idea how can I exclude the text in the heading number?

[@fahimehmasoumi2170]

Thank you for video. I am writing down my thesis and I started from chapter 2 and when I want to insert a number for equations or tables like 2.1, 2.2... in the caption it fixed number 1 and it gives me numbers like 1.1, 1.2... how I can change first number (before point) to 2?

[@nirjhorchakraborty1861]

So to cross-reference every equation one has to bookmark every single equation?

[@ahpang6678]

so i have to bookmark each of the equations to different name if i need to cross-reference all the equations? *I have tried "insert caption function" but it cannot just link the equation numbering, it kept links the whole equation to the context.

[@lookolookthefox]

This is going to save my experimental physics grade, thank you so much

[@goguzaum]

Thank you so much! This was clear, and useful! I can't believe I wrote so much stuff without ever knowing this hacks

Great video. You made having numbered equation in word doc simple. Thank you!

You are like a Word wizard, did not even know about half of the tools you used in the first 2 minutes of the video hahah

[@daesoolee1083]

Sir, I owe you at least a year of my life.

[@Watcher6868]

Most journals prefer Times New Roman but the equation editor in MS Word does not allow for this (without converting the equation to 'Normal Text' and lose all the nice features of an Equation). Is there a better way to change the equation's font? What font do you use for your entire manuscript? and thank you

[@hannaedwards5197]

Thank you - this has been extremely useful to me . Having a large document with many equations, following exactly your steps - it is but a couple of mouseclick worth .

[@mohammadg.merdan2493]

Thanks for this video. I think the best way is to use Mathtype . It has many nice options for the equation numbering :).

[@togeka6295]

!!!! If the fields show the codes { SEQ Eq \*ARABIC } instead of the values then go to file->options->advanced->Show field codes instead of their values (untick it!) then it should show it as "1" instead of "{ SEQ Eq \*ARABIC }"

[@shreeniwasdaulatabad3373]

will the eq number reset after change of the chapter

[@MrAGrahn]

Hint for the hobby typographers (forced to be by M$) here: The equation number has to be right aligned (flush-right) with the surrounding text, not centred within its table cell.

How to make the number of equation by also including the number of chapter. Equation 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and so on. Thanks

[@lazarsmps]

The same way, by adding StyleRef field before Seq field (I described it in my post: search for this topic with inurl:smps-power ).

[@josefkostal5861]

And is it possible to set the begining individualy for each chapter? So it would be for chapter 2: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, .. and for chapter 3: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 etc.

[@oes2546]

Nice. However, I think it's a bit unwieldy when the numbers aren't automatically made "equations" in the cross-reference (alt, s, r) menu. But I was able to insert the equation numbers directly, although they are formatted the same as normal figure captions, but it works well enough.

[@zahid37_pk]

wow......really awesome to insert equation numbers in the document. Thumbs up.

When I change of chapter the numbering fails. Example, I want to have equations 2.1, 2.2 ... and then for chapter 3.... 3.1, 3.2..... Instead, when I apply this method the numbering shows 2.1,2.2...2.4 and then for chapter 3.....2.5, 2.6.... could you tell me what should I do?

[@jojohns9670]

Are the chapter titles formatted as "Heading 1"?

[@deanw8206]

How do you make the sequence return to normal? I had to add an equation before the first and it didn't update the sequence. Now I literally have to renumber every equation I enter. I tried "update field" but nothing happened.

[@andreafloris5974]

Extremely good and useful video! Thanks!

[@federico.gorrini]

Great video! complete, brief and clear. THANKS!

[@Immorpher]

This video should be updated with the numbering method Phuong Nguyen described. Inserting a table to get this done eerily feels like the bad formatting methods of early HTML webpages. It is best avoided when given the option to avoid it.

[@kaizoku4life]

before you close saving auto-text, be sure that you marked global, not normal.dotm. in order to save the auto- text for future use.

[@1827641]

Great video. Would it be possible to add a shortcut?

Great trick but i have an issue.. after closing the word, i tried to creat a different doc with the same auto text block but the block was changed. It had the table borders for some reason...

you dear sir are a ledgend!!!

[@SCIENindustries]

seems that, this workaround does not work when I insert table of figures, these does not appear there 🤔

[@zhouwyful]

it works, however, the fractional part in the equation in the table somehow shrinks compared to a normal equation.

That bookmarking method is stupid and unfortunately, there is no better way. If I have 100 equations and I have to reference just 30 of them, that means I have to make 30 bookmarks one by one and reference them. The caption thing was supposed to do that which doesn't.

[@christophermckeon9030]

Works in Word 2007 too, FYI.

In the sequence identifier put the same caption name and you can reference it like any other caption and list it
