How to display partial derivatives using ∂?

Posted 3 years ago

I'm using version 12.0. on Windows 10.
I want my output for results from D[ ], Dt[ ], etc. to use traditional notation, i.e. using the ∂ operator.
The TraditionalFunctionNotation option (under Traditional Notation Options, Expression Formatting, Formatting Options) does not accomplish this objective.
After an hour of searching the web and Mathematica help, I have found a few 'answers' that involve several or more lines of code (of which I understand little), and a suggestion involving "$preprint" and "pdConv." pdConv and can at least find in Mathematica documentation, but it's no more straightforward than the 'answers' requiring multiple lines of code.
I am not interested (at this point) in printing the output in publishable form, I just want to see it on the screen.
I've been manually entering Mathematica in a Word document using the insert equation process, which I use as a "viewer-friendly" reference for subsequent operations in my Mathematica notebook, but this is tedious and time consuming.
What is the way to accomplish this in Mathematica?

Thanks,
Paul

Besides the hints of Rohit you can use Inactivate, e.g.:

Type

d = D[Sin[x], x]

do not evaluate it. Right click on the cell bracket and select "Convert To" / "TraditionalForm". For a more permanent solution see this.

Or from the Palettes menu item, select "Basic Math Assistant" and use the templates to insert expressions in traditional form.
