Changing Default Attributes
Can default formats in $[officename] Math be modified?
Some parts of formulas are always formatted bold or italic by default.
You can remove these attributes using "nbold" and "nitalic". Example:
a + b
nitalic a + bold b.
In the second formula, the a is not italic. The b is bold. You cannot change the plus sign by this method.
