Formula editor as a floating window

As seen in Figure 1, the formula editor can cover a large part of the Writer window. To turn the formula editor into a floating window, do this:

1. 1. Hover the mouse over the editor frame, as shown in Figure 10.
   2. Hold down the Control key and double-click.

Figure 11 shows the result. You can make the floating window back into an embedded frame, using the same steps. Hold down the Control key and double-click the window frame.

This is one of the most common questions people ask about OOoMath. The answer is simple, but not intuitive:

1. 1. Start the formula editor and go to Format > Font size.
