Inserting a Formula using a Window

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

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

• You can compose formulas 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.
