An example is <emph>oper %theta x</emph>. Using the <emph>oper</emph> command, you can also insert characters not in the default $[officename] character set. <emph>oper</emph> can also be used in connection with limits; for example, <emph>oper %union from {i=1} to n x_{i}</emph>. In this example, the union symbol is indicated by the name <emph>union</emph>. However, this is not one of the predefined symbols. To define it, choose <emph>Tools - Catalog</emph>. select <emph>Special</emph> as the symbol set in the dialog that appears, then click the <emph>Edit</emph> button. In the next dialog, select <emph>Special</emph> as the symbol set again. Enter a meaningful name in the <emph>Symbol</emph> text box, for example, "union" and then click the union symbol in the set of symbols. Click <emph>Add</emph> and then <emph>OK</emph>. Click <emph>Close</emph> to close the <emph>Symbols</emph> dialog. You are now finished and can type the union symbol in the Commands window, by entering <emph>oper %union</emph>.</paragraph> 262cdf0e10cSrcweir<paragraph role="tip" id="par_id3154243" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="48">Limits can be arranged in ways other than centered above/below the operator. Use the options provided by $[officename] Math for working with superscript and subscript indexes. For example, type <emph>sum_a^b c</emph> in the Commands window to arrange the limits to the right of the sum symbol. If your limit entries contain longer expressions, you must put them in group brackets, for example, sum_{i=1}^{2*n} b. When formulas are imported from older versions this is done automatically.

This is especially true when your operators are supplied with values instead of placeholders, for example, lim a_{n}=a.</paragraph> 264cdf0e10cSrcweir</body> 265cdf0e10cSrcweir</helpdocument> 266
