Inline text object vertical positioning

[Guest]

Hi, I have a quick question regarding object positioning. I am trying to
align an inline object (equation from MathType). By default, the object is
placed lower than the text, so the next line is pushed down with white space.
This is ugly, so is there a way to center the object vertically relative to
the anchor text? Thanks!

If you format it as "In front of text" you can drag it anywhere you like.
If you specify other wrapping styles, the object will displace the text.

Look up Text-wrapping options in the Help for more...

You can use font formatting (Format | Font | Character Spacing: Raised) to
raise the equation object, but this probably won't change the fact that an
equation object taller than the default line height will affect line
spacing. To control this, you'll need to specify "Exactly" line spacing in
Format | Paragraph, and it may need to be more than the default Single
spacing to accommodate the equation object.
