Dear All,

I would like to include the following equation in one of my papers

but I don't know which equation in Microsoft Word I can use to insert

because its seems that equations in script, fraction, matrix are not suitable. Can anyone let me know which equation in Microsoft Word I can use to insert the above? Thanks.

best regards

Tim

    First, you need to add argmin to the list of recognized functions so the equation editor won't make it italic. Click the little arrow in the bottom right corner of the Conversions group on the Equation ribbon to open the Equation Options dialog, and click the Recognized Functions button in that dialog to open the Recognized Math Functions dialog. Type argmin in the empty box and click the Add button, then click OK in each dialog.

    When you get to the right side of the equation, click the Limit and Log button on the ribbon and select the min function.

    .

    When that function appears in the equation, move the cursor to its left and type arg. Because you've already told Word to recognize argmin as a function, it will be accepted. You can now use the placeholder below argmin to enter the β,a and use the other placeholder to enter the summation.
