I have An equation in the equation tools and when i insert it the brackets seem to disappear.

The issue seems to be with using Firefox as it renders correctly on chromium. My current research of the problem says it could potential be an issue with the Firefox MathML implementation but I’m not sure exactly how to test that let alone fix it. Is this an issue i should raise with Firefox or am i being dumb and missing an obvious fix?

    Looks good enough to my eyes. It’s Microsoft Word, after all. Inconsistent behaviour is basically baked into MS Word.

    Interesting issue, though. Another weird one in my list. What happens though, if you export both versions in both browsers to PDF? Are they rendered consistently or does the issue persist?

    The fix should be easy as well: Use Word on Chromium or use the desktop app. If you’re looking for more sophisticated layouts, I can only recommend either learning a desktop publishing software or trying out LaTeX

      Exported to pdf works fine on both. Yeah ended up using chromium but prwfer to use firefox for many reasons. Cant use desktop for word since im on linux and cant use something else cos its a team project, i have all my formulas in latex on logseq and copy it across for making it into a proper report.

        Try to export/print as PDF and see if it renders.
        If yes: That’s a MS problem

        If no: It’s a problem with your pc
        Maybe try a different browser like Edge Chromium to see if it works in their 1st party browser.
        If that doesn’t try to disable external add-ons and plugins.
