Size of single bracket in Equation (Word 2007)

[ralf.schaa]

Hi group,

I'd like to change the size of a single bracket in an equation - how
can I achieve this?

For example, in Latex I could do something like this:

F\biggr|_{a} , where biggrl gives me a large sized "|" ...

Cheers
-Ralf

as a work-around I came up with a trick:

I used a single Matrix column with 3 rows - inserted the single "|" on
the right-hand side - I put the actual equation in the centre of the
matrix field and the other matrix fields I left empty ... the result
looks pleasing

Cheers
-Ralf

You can select the part of the equation you want to have bigger/larger, then
select 'Normal Text' from the Equations 'Design' tab and change the font
size on the 'Home' tab. There are two things to consider here, in case of
brackets, it might select everything up to the corresponding open/close
bracket. In such a case you will have to ensure that they don't act as
balanced brackets. Also, changing the size of parts inside an equation can
result in growing surrounding brackets.
