How to insert underbrace in a word document

I am trying to insert underbraces in a mathematical document in a Word 07 document but I can't do it. Can you please assist. Thanks.

Solution 1:

For anyone else wondering on how to actually get text beneath the underbrace, i.e. to label it: You need to type another _ and then press SPACE again. So the correct answer to this question should be:

1. Type "\underbrace"
2. Press SPACE
3. Type "_"
4. Press SPACE
5. Either navigate with the arrow keys or click on the placeholders to finish the input.

Hope this helps somebody.

Solution 2:

Instead of typing \underbrace you can also open Equation tools tab, click Accent and select underbrace from drop-down menu. It works even in Word 2007

Solution 3:

Use the Equation Editor. In Word 2010, click Insert, then Equation. You'll see all the equation tools.

To enter an underbrace type "\underbrace", space, the character to go over the underbrace, space, then continue.
