• You may also right button click while the cursor is in the text box, so that you can choose the "New Equation" from the contextual menu.
• If you either select "New Equation" menu or drag a rectangle with th Sigma tool, MathMagic Pro application will be launched, if not running already, and an empty equationd editor window will be opened. In case MathMagic Pro application is not launched automatically within a few seconds, please launch the application manually from the following location.
  \Program Files\MathMagic Pro\MathMagicPro.exe

  • just change the cursor to the arrow cursor and move the equation box by dragging to where you desire, or
  • control-click on the equation box to bring up the contextual menu, and then select "Shift Baseline" item, or
