## Inserting a Formula Directly

If you want to insert a formula into a text document, and you already know the correct writing, you can proceed as follows:

1. Write the formula into your text

2. Select the formula

3. Choose the command Insert - OLE Object - Formula Object.

## Inserting a Formula using a Window

- If you want to use the LibreOffice Math interface to edit a formula, choose the command Insert - OLE Object - Formula Object without any text selected.

- The cursor waits in the Commands window and you can type the formula.

- You can compose formulae using the Elements pane. Open it with the menu View - Elements if it is not already open.

- If the Elements pane is open, use F6 to switch from the Commands window to the Elements pane and back.
