When I insert the LaTeX expression
\Bar{\[j\]} = \frac{\[j\]}{m^{2}}
into a Word document in in the equation editor, it gives me a double overbar instead of a single one

What I want is

This was originally reported on answers.microsoft.com, and I also submitted it via File/Feedback/Send a Frown, and it has been accepted by support, so I expect that a fix will be made.

Solution@Thomas Ligon yeah actually the command for a single bar is \bar and a double bar is \Bar

thanks!! This is the perfect answer to how to do this in Word Equation Editor, and that's all I need, since I produce my mathematics and mathematical physics papers in Word, and not LaTeX.
Now, I was hoping to find a more complete response, so I tried to find this definition on the Internet, and maybe even find the source for my error. I failed again. I wasn't able to find an authoritative "reference" for LaTeX. I found descriptions of \bar, and \bar{\bar{...}}, but not \Bar.
