Equation Editor - Can't Consistently Edit Equations
I am an experienced user of Equation Editor in Word 2003 SP2. I am using
Windows XP SP2. My problem is that I can create equations in my document but I cannot change the font type or size. I know how to do it, but when I go into the style or size menus nothing happens. I cannot move the checkmark from the default selection. I tried reinstalling Equation Editor, but that didn't help. Thanks Dave |

Equation Editor - Can't Consistently Edit Equations
Dave,
I followed your post until you said you couldn't "move the checkmark". To change the font type or size, you don't need to move the checkmark; you need to click on Define in both menus to change it. Is this what you're doing, and still can't change it?

Equation Editor - Can't Consistently Edit Equations
Bob:
It is actually a little stranger than that. Generally when I go into an equation and want to change the style I do not get to the options in the define box. Selecting define does nothing in that case. I also cannot just highlight the part of the equation that I want to change and apply one of the preset formats to it. Last week I reinstalled the product and it worked for about a day before reverting to not working. Inevitably since I posted my question it is working. For how long, I can't predict. I don't know if something in my system is causing a conflict or what. Thanks Dave "Bob Mathews" wrote: Dave, I followed your post until you said you couldn't "move the checkmark".

Equation Editor - Can't Consistently Edit Equations
Dave, thanks for the update. Unfortunately I don't know what would be
causing those problems. If it happens again, you might consider downloading the MathType eval. After the eval period, it'll still work in MathType Lite mode, which is basically "Equation Editor +". -- Bob Mathews Director of Training Design Science, Inc. bobm at dessci.com http://www.dessci.com/free.asp?free=news FREE fully-functional 30-day evaluation of MathType MathType, WebEQ, MathPlayer, MathFlow, Equation Editor, TeXaide On 3-Jan-2008, Brakeshoe wrote: Bob: It is actually a little stranger than that.

Thanks Bob. I guess it is ime to move on to Math Type. I had the eval
version on my last machine but hadn't gotten around to reinstalling it on my current machine. Thanks again, Dave "Bob Mathews" wrote: Dave, thanks for the update.
