How do you display a square root symbol using Microsoft Word? - Answers

To type square roots on Microsoft Word: 1.) Click on the "Insert" drop-down menu and select "Object..." 2.) You should see "Microsoft Equation" as one option. If not, you may have to install it yourself. Click O.K. if you do have it. 3.) Select one of the eqation templates (square roots, fractions, etc.) and type what you like. 4.) Copy and Paste your equation onto your document. NOTE: You may have to practice a little before you get the hang of it, but it's pretty easy! First you press ctrl f9 and type eq \r(put your equation here). Now you press shift f9 and your equation should be there, if you did it wrong it will not apprear as an equation.
