I have a document that has a number of symbolic matrices in it as
equations. With FrameMaker 2.1 for the Mac, these format fine EXCEPT that the
expressions making up the individual matrix elements are set too close
together and thus difficult to see clearly. They don't overlap, but they
are not well seperated visually.
How can I fix this?
I've tried:
1) Using a LARGE equation (and defining it to use the same type size)
instead of MEDIUM. It's smarter than I, keys off the type size, and
produces the original output.
2) Using Micro-positioning to manually move the elements around. This is
a pain, but could be done EXCEPT that the bracket around the
matrix does not move. It stays the same size, greatly limiting how
much extra space I can introduce. (This is true whether it's the
matrix bracket, or if I turn off the matrix bracket, select the
all matrix elements and add a bracket by hand)
3) I can make space for micropositioning by adding extra rows and columns.
So long as I leave these extra elements empty, they dont print yet
reserve extra space. Unfortunately, this is a very coarse
adjustment and makes it much harder to microposition the elements so
as to make it readable.
Any suggestions? I'd really like to know how to tell Frame that the 'box' the
elements fill is larger - that would solve all my problems.
Thanks in advance.
