In the front end, in a cell whose style is "Text", how do I typeset Sum so that the limits are literally above and below the sum symbol?

I keep getting this, even when I click on the underset using the "Basic Typesetting" palette:

enter image description here

But I want:

$$\sum_x$$

An answer where I have to directly edit the cell expression using ⌘+⇧+E (or Ctrl+Shift+E on PC) is perfectly fine.

You can set LimitsPositioning -> False in UnderoverscriptBoxOptions in your "Text" cell through the Options Inspector. Just search for "LimitsPositioning" and click on False in the drop-down menu. (This could be added to the stylesheet instead.)

You can also add LimitsPositioning -> False directly to the UnderoverscriptBox in the cell expression.
