Add the tensor product operator.
This operator corresponds to a circle with a cross inside.

Dear Collette:

Dis you tried with otimes?

1.- Open L.O: Math
2.- Write this commands:
V otimes W.


Kind regards.

Roberto.

Thanks for useful information.
As I can see, it works. But how to place it by mouse? Enhancement is still actual.

Yes, you're right. It's impossible to put the tensor product operator inside a formula using only mouse. Moreover, if you don't know that 'otimes' command exists, you probably will think that's there is no way to introduce the tensor product operator inside any formula created with Math. But I must say that this problem doesn't affect 'otimes' only. If you chek out the LibreOffice Math Guide for version 3.5 (available from http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/), you will find many 'characters' and attributes that you only can insert if you know the corresponding command (page 35, Math commands - Reference).
In this sense, Math needs a big improvement (apart from symbols that Math sill lacks).

Kind regards.

Roberto.

P.S. please, sorry for my absolutely terrible English in my last comment.
