How do I space out parts of formula created in the FM Equations editor?

[AshB_WPGL]

I have created formula within my template file using the Eqautions editor and applying fonts using the defined styles saved in my character designer. This template when aplied to my FM file means all formula are now in the correct font and works fine. My problem is the client wants the spaces between the parts of the formula to be bigger, I have found that by highlighting each part, going to the 'positioning' tab on the equation editor and increasing the space at the right hand size will work, this means highlighting each part manually. Once I import it into my FM file it does not change my equation automatically.

Is there a way to apply bigger spaces between the parts of my equation in the template so it automatically applies it to my FM file?

I don’t think it is working. I'm not sure how else to post screenshots, sorry.

Can you not upload it to www.tinpic.com or www.photobucket.com or similar?

I cant seem to get it to work I click on it but nothing happens.

Take your screenshot. Save it as a file (jpg or png). Use the camera icon to upload the file to your post.

Open the Equations editor.

Click 'Equations v'

Click 'Equation sizes... (!pe)

Change the 'Horizontal Spread'

Click 'Set'.

Or am I teaching you to suck eggs?

Thank you, unfortunately I've already tried this option and it puts spaces in between every character not just parts. As you can see in the uploaded image underlined in red. Our client does not want all characters spread out.

So you change the spacing either side in;

Equations

Position Settings...

Spacing:

Left:/Right:

And then, with the equation selcted, Equations >  Update Definition > Update.

?

[AshB_WPGL]

I will try this, I never tried updating the definition before. The equations editor is new to me so there a lot of menu options I haven’t applied properly.

[AshB_WPGL]

I tried your solution

Equations

Position Settings...

Spacing:

Left:/Right:

And then, with the equation selcted, Equations >  Update Definition > Update.

Unfortunately it doesnt work with spaces between parts. It only seems to update all definitions if its 'Horizontal spread' added to the whole formula, which puts spaces between all characters.

Thanks for the tips anyway.
