Default How do I change the font and size in math equations?

The correct name for it is either "Equation Editor" or "Microsoft
Equation 3.0", but I knew what you meant. You certainly can use this
editor in Word 2007 and in fact it's already built-in! Access it the
same way you probably did in Word 2003 -- Insert Object Microsoft
Equation 3.0.

We have two items on our website that may be helpful. The first is a
TechNote showing how to add Equation Editor to your Quick Access
Toolbar in Word 2007. You can access this TechNote he

Greek, U.C. Greek, Symbol. Setting these styles to anything other then
Symbol font will produce unpredictable results.

Institute of Physics Publishing and other scientific journal
publishers use math fonts and sizes not supported in Word

Equation Editor 2003 in Word 2007? If you want the
business of the physics and math communities, Word
2007 must be revised.
