Customizing Formulas
There are several ways you can customize formulas in the formula editor. The following sections
describe how to change font size, show and hide boxing, change the orientation of the formula, and
close arguments.
Changing the Font Size
To incrementally increase or decrease the font used to display the formatted formula
1 Click the red triangle icon above the keypad.
2 Select Larger Font or Smaller Font, as shown in Figure 9.32.
3 Repeat this process to further increase or decrease the font size.

Hiding and Showing Boxing
By default, JMP outlines specific terms within the formula. This is called boxing. Boxing is useful when
you want to select and modify a specific portion of a formula, or need to determine the order of
evaluation that takes place.
To turn boxing on or off
1 Build a formula.
2 Click the red triangle icon above the keypad and select Show Boxing, as shown in Figure 9.33.
When a check appears on the menu beside Show Boxing, the outline appears in the formula. When
it does not, the outline does not appear.
