Hello -

I'm turning to the collective wisdom of this group because I can't really
glean a clue from the LaTeX reference manual.  I'm trying to include
a fairly long formula within a normal paragraph of text.  Unfortunately,
LaTeX doesn't break the line around the formula, so one of the lines is
way too long.  According to the manual, (she quotes here to sound 
knowledgable) "TeX regards a formula as a word, which may be broken across
lines at certain points...."

The question is now, what do I have to do to activate these "certain
points" ??

My makeshift solution is just to break down the formula into separate
math mode chunks.  LaTeX puts the linebreak between mini-formulas.
But that's a bit of a pain, and I'd like something a little more automatic
if possible.

Suggestions anyone??  Am I stuck, or is there an obvious solution I'm
missing??

Sample broken paragraph included below.

Thanks in advance for the help,
brantley

------------------------------ sample code here ------------------------------

The processor pair $(B_i ,A_i )$ should be handled by processors
$P_{i\sqrt{m} + j(i) + 1},\cdots,P_{(i + 1)\sqrt{m}+j(i + 1)}$.
This paragraph is too wide.
