I am a structural engineer and this is a great tool to write some notes on formula.

It would be better though if when naming formula you could mark items that needed superscript and not just subscript every character after the first.

Also, I wish that you could show a fraction in a fraction.

I agree with the superscript suggestion. I guess the logical extension to that is to be able to combine superscripts and subscripts on the same character and even superscript formulas or fractions.

But I guess this all belongs in the user suggestions area.<br><br>Post edited by: DaveCwork, at: 2007/03/30 08:32

You can restrain XLC from automatically subscripting this is cover in the online help just below the flash tutorial http://www.excelcalcs.com/content/view/52/126/.

A cell entry of "a1" when 'named' will be automatically subscripted after the first character and " =" will be appended. On 'redraw equations' XLC finds named cells ending in " =" and forces all characters after the first to be subscripted. However if you edit the cell and change "a1 =" to "a1=" (i.e. drop the space) you can override XLC default behaviour. Format the cell as you like by using Excel's format font command and it will be dragged into equations with the formatting options you gave it. I would recommend that you always display multiplication signs to avoid confusion.

Fractions within a fraction is not available but could be intoduced at a later date. Equations could become massive though which might not be a good thing.
