Spacing Around Formulas

I have been bothered from the start with the way formulas are rendered in OpenOffice.org in relation to the surrounding text. There is just too much space around them. See the first line of this image? The second line, for me, is better.



So how do you change the default spacing in OpenOffice.org Writer? Here are the steps:
  1. Open the Stylist by pressing F11 or by clicking Format > Styles and Formatting.
  2. In the Styles and Formatting window, click on the icon for Frame Styles.
  3. Right-click on "Formula" and select "Modify...".
  4. Select the Wrap tab page.
  5. In the Spacing group, decrease the "Left" and "Right" values to 0.00".
  6. Click OK.
