When I use the Align "Horizontally" tool to align a text box with an expression with exponents... it aligns the text to the top of the exponent.

Is there anyway to have it align the text with the bottom of the expression's base?

Thanks.

Hi. SMath align at top. Mathcad align at bottom. It's just a different convention, I guess. Word and Wolfram Mathematica have some options for different alignments, but are not easy to change them.

Use a text region with embedded math regions (when in text, Insert> formula). The embedded math regions are active (those in the writer plugin are not) and are executed in the serial line sequence regardless what their vertical extent is. This may be misleading because you can't always easily guess whether a formula is inside a text region or just on the canvas.
This way you can create ambiguous relations between appearance and logic.

Once in "formula" mode how do you get back to text while in the same region?

Sorry, don't understand. You can convert algo(U) into string, pretty long and useless
unless you want that into script, for what kind of gadget vs Smath CAS.

Just press the enter key.

As a side note, handle this kind of maths with caution.
There is no verdict, except possibly Mathematica. Sorry, no time to spare on that.
