continue on the next row

[skjoex]

Hi,

I have a long equation and I am interested if there is the way to split it to two rows - see the attached file. I found keyboard shortcut CTRL+ENTER to do this but seem that it does not work correctly. Thanx.

What do you mean by "seem that it does not work correctly"?

when I hit CTRL+ENTER the placeholder apears on the place of red triangle - see the image, but I would like to continue on the begining of the next row - red asterix. Furthermore when I try to continue and write comma, this comma is written to the first row not to the second - the red arrow on the picture.

or maybe the simpler example - see the picture.

Not very elegant, but you could try breaking the expression up using stack statements.

Thank you excognito ! As you wrote - not elegant but useful - I will use it.

skjoex,

that comma doesn't belong there, I think it is a syntax error. Ctrl-Enter is the way to make a continuation on the next line. It's not documented, but left over from an older version of mathcad. I don't know a way to make the continued line start where your asterisk is though. You can try invoking the ctrl-enter before the first plus to get it closer to the location of your asterisk.
