Reduce the space around in-line formulas in LibreOffice When inserting a formula into LibreOffice, there is a whole lot of padding between it and other words. How can I modify the formatting of formulas to make the padding much smaller? LibreOffice 3.3.1

LibreOffice applies a default `frame style` named `Formula` to formula objects. It has AutoSize activated by default, and also a default padding. It should be sufficient to modify that frame style.

To do so, open the stylist using `F11` and select the `Frame Styles`. It's the third button from left:

!select frame Styles

Now, select the `Formula` style, right click and `Modify`:

!modify formula style

Now, you can edit the details applying to every formula object in the current document, for example the space around the formula:

!edit style

In addition, you could modify the formula object directly; under `Wrap` tab, it has some default spacing values.
