How to insert a determinant in MS Word?
I want to insert a 3x3 determinant in MS Word but find any option for doing so under equations. I searched the web but could not find any site that deals with this. How do i insert a determinant in MS Word?

I see. I've found this one (for 2x2, but with straight lines): Ctrl-F9 (to insert a field), then typeEq bbc|(aarco2(1; 3; 4; 2)), Alt-F9 to close the field editor (or to re-open for editing). I guess co3 would be for 3x3?

@jvb, that is not working. The determinant that command produces has only one row.

Open a new equation with Alt+=, then type
A=|matrix(0&0&0@0&0&0@0&0&0) |
and add space at the end.

This will open a new window in which you can use the mouse to "write" the equation, and it will attempt to "read" it and convert it to useful text, which you can then insert into your document.
