I sometimes use Word's \Array command as a LaTeX-like "eqnarray"
environment. For example,
\A\al\hs5\vs0\co3(lhs1,=,rhs1,lhs2,=,rhs2,lhs3,=,rhs3)
gives the structure
lhs1 = rhs1
lhs2 = rhs2 .
lhs3 = rhs3
I had hoped to use a similar Word formula to do a commutative diagram,
something like
f
A ----> A
^ ^
h | | h
| |
B ----> B
g
but with the vertical arrows pointing in the opposite direction. Well,
to make a long story short, I'm not having much luck. I can get a
partial result without the top and bottom function names, but as soon as
I try to take it any further, the whole thing falls apart (literally).
I was hoping someone could tell me where I'm going wrong. Here's what
the code looks like so far (without the spaces or carriage returns):
\A\ac\hs0\vs0\co8( ,A,-,-,-,->,A, ,
,^, , , , ,^, ,
h ,|, , , , ,|, h,
,|, , , , ,|, ,
,B,-,-,-,->,B, )
I've checked and double-checked the number of commas, which is where I
originally thought the problem might be. (Curiously, the trailing comma
needs to be removed before the formula will display. Word's real fussy
about it.) What I'd like to do is add two more rows, one at the top and
the bottom, but I just can't get it to work. Seems like the formula
processor chokes on anything more than five rows. Does anybody have any
idea how I might finish this? (Please don't say "switch to OzTeX or
Textures" because that isn't a viable option at this point!)
Thanks in advance,
