<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id337229" xml-lang="en-US">Some text strings get interpreted as operators automatically. Sometimes this is not what you want. If you want to write W<emph>*</emph> (a letter with a superscripted asterisk), the asterisk will be interpreted as a multiplication operator. Enclose the direct text within double quotes or add spaceholders.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_idN105D0" xml-lang="en-US">Examples:<comment>collected from several issues: i78812, i9167, i21484, i25573</comment></paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id521866" xml-lang="en-US">An imported MathType formula contains the following string</paragraph>
<paragraph role="smathcode" id="par_id9413739" xml-lang="en-US" localize="false">W rSup { size 8{*} }</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id755943" xml-lang="en-US">If you have set up Math to convert imported MathType formulas (in <switchinline select="sys"><caseinline select="MAC">%PRODUCTNAME - Preferences</caseinline><defaultinline>Tools - Options</defaultinline></switchinline> - Load/Save - Microsoft Office), you see the formula with a placeholder instead of the asterisk.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id5988952" xml-lang="en-US">Change {*} to {} * {} as in the following formula:</paragraph>
<paragraph role="smathcode" id="par_id3304544" xml-lang="en-US" localize="false">W rSup { size 8{} * {} }</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id4941557" xml-lang="en-US">You can also use W^"*" to enter the character as direct text.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id9961851" xml-lang="en-US">Some formulas start with an = sign. Use "=" to enter that character as direct text.</paragraph>
