DocumentBase.OMathBreakSub Property

Definition

Gets or sets a value that specifies how Microsoft Office Word handles a subtraction operator that falls before a line break.

public:
 property Microsoft::Office::Interop::Word::WdOMathBreakSub OMathBreakSub { Microsoft::Office::Interop::Word::WdOMathBreakSub get(); void set(Microsoft::Office::Interop::Word::WdOMathBreakSub value); };
public Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdOMathBreakSub OMathBreakSub { get; set; }
member this.OMathBreakSub : Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdOMathBreakSub with get, set
Public Property OMathBreakSub As WdOMathBreakSub

Property Value

One of the WdOMathBreakSub values.

Examples

The following code example sets the OMathBreakBin property to a value that causes the binary operator that the equation breaks on to repeat at the beginning of the new line. In addition, the code sets the OMathBreakSub property to a value that converts the sequence of two subtraction operators to a sequence of a plus operator followed by a minus operator. This prevents double negatives from being created when the OMathBreakBin property is set to wdOMathBreakBinRepeat, which repeats the subtraction operator at the equation break. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.

private void SetEquationBinaryOperatorBreak()
{            
    this.OMathBreakBin = Word.WdOMathBreakBin.wdOMathBreakBinRepeat;
    this.OMathBreakSub = Word.WdOMathBreakSub.wdOMathBreakSubPlusMinus;
}
Private Sub SetEquationBinaryOperatorBreak()
    Me.OMathBreakBin = Word.WdOMathBreakBin.wdOMathBreakBinRepeat
    Me.OMathBreakSub = Word.WdOMathBreakSub.wdOMathBreakSubPlusMinus
End Sub

Remarks

This property is used only when the OMathBreakBin property is set to wdOMathBreakBinRepeat. Subtraction sometimes receives special treatment when a line break falls on a subtraction operator and the document setting is to repeat the subtraction operator on the following line, because two negatives make a positive. Some writers choose to convert one of the minus signs into a plus sign, and some choose to keep the two negatives.
