SYMPTOMS
When you use the EQ field to create an equation, and you format the equation in italics, the bracket or parenthesis is displayed and printed incorrectly.

For example, when you print or display these equations   {EQ \B\RC\)(\A\HS10(3,5,7,11))}

-or-

  {EQ \B\LC\((\A\HS10(3,5,7,11))} they resemble the following examples:     3 /     5 /     7 /    11 /

-or-

  / 3 / 5  / 7   /11



RESOLUTION
Turn on the field codes and then apply italic formatting to the numbers inside the equation; do not apply italic formatting to the punctuation.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Additional query words: eq equation formula brace bracket parentheses parenthesis braces brackets slashed hashed hatched broken split splintered
