How to left justify equations

Post by hooman »

Hi,

I am writing a report in which I have very long equations (3 lines ,etc) and so I need to somehow make them look nicer. At the moment my equations are in the middle by default and now I am wondering if it would be possible to left-justify them? All my equations and equations arrays are numbered.

Many Thanks!

Hi,

go to the document settings and choose the class option fleqn. This means flush left equations.

Hi,

I'm using Lyx 1.6.5 and I don't have this document class. Will I be able to find this if I installed a different version?

Thanks again!
