Equation options in Word 2007
How do I change the default font for math regions in the Equation options?
The only option it gives me is Cambria Math. I'd like to use a font that matches the font I use on the rest of the document. |

Equation options in Word 2007
Hi Ava,
The only font that MS provided with Word 2007 that contains the full set of Mathematical operators that the MS Equation Editor can use is Cambria Math. You can use the Equation Tools to create a 'normal text' region and cut and paste your math region equation into that area and apply a different font or paste it outside of the equation object and in either case apply a different font, but you may find that it changes not just the look but the equation if the same symbol set is not available in your 'other' font. There may be other fonts that will support this or other equation editors such as http://mathtype.com that you may want to look into. =========== "Ava" wrote in message ...

Thank you. That's a lot more work than I want to do! I'm typing tests and
have numerous equations to add. I have math type at work, but the Equation Editor in Word 2007 is much quicker and easier. ~Ava "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi Ava, The only font that MS provided with Word 2007 that contains the full set of Mathematical operators that the MS Equation Editor can use is Cambria Math.

Easy is indeed, but making those changes in font is a pain... and I do have
to have it on the same font as the rest of the document, or the lovely ladies at the graduate office will detect the inconsistency and violation with the document writing guides... regards, "Suzanne S.

Equation options in Word 2007
Our group has just started to use Office 2007. We are having the same
difficulty with the equation editor. Many of the professional journals that we submit papers to require the Times New Roman font for all of the submission text including equations. Are there any easy fixes?

Or you can still use the old Equation Editor (Insert | Text | Object | Object: Equation Editor 3.0).

Equation options in Word 2007
Cindy, I waited this long to respond because I was waiting to see if
someone else would respond first. Since the company I work for creates and sells the product that solves this problem, it sometimes comes across better if someone else makes the recommendation rather than me. In fact, Bob Buckland in an early part of this thread mentioned our product MathType and gave our URL. So, that brings me to the answer to your question. You asked if there are any easy fixes. That depends on what you're constraints are. The two constraints you mention are that you're using Word 2007 and you must use TNR font. You didn't say if you're constrained to using the "new" equation writer in Word 2007. If so, then not only are there no "easy" fixes, there are no fixes period. If you can use other tools for the equations then there are two fixes, both of which are easy and practical. One fix involves using the same Equation Editor that shipped with earlier versions of Office. Some people don't realize this editor (aka "Microsoft Equation 3.0") is available in Office 2007. Access it with the same command as in earlier versions: Insert Object. With Equation Editor, you can use any font or any size font you want. There's no way to directly add it to the toolbar, but we have an article on our website that shows how to add it in a more indirect way: http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mat...tsn/tsn124.htm That product -- Equation Editor -- is free, because it already comes with Office. The other solution is the more comprehensive product, MathType, which includes more fonts, more symbols & templates, and other features that matter to some people. For a full list of features and a comparison of MathType with Equation Editor, see our website (link in my signature). -- 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 29-May-2008, Cindy wrote: Our group has just started to use Office 2007.

Equation options in Word 2007
Hi Robert,
The Cambria and Cambria Math fonts are not entirely dissimilar to Times New Roman (especially if you reduce the character spacing by around 0.26pts g  , but rather than go that route, there is a math font set based on Times New Roman that was to be released inApril g. The site was just updated to move that date to August http://stixfonts.org/finalsteps.html With the sponsor list at the bottom of that page there's a good chance that it will be accepted by publications g. For me, a bigger issue is the really terrible quality of the Equation graphic representation generated by Word when an equation is saved to PDF or as a .doc file. MS Research has come up with a better resolution to solve a related problem, so perhaps there's hope for this. There are likely more places/publications/schools that will insist on receiving Word documents in .doc format and that would find the 'equations' to be less than ideal, which would tend to reduce the folks working with the Word 2007 Math/Equation tools. =========== "Robert M.

Equation options in Word 2007
Hello Bob
I tried to utilize the fonts Computer Modern (http://canopus.iacp.dvo.ru/~panov/cm.../download.html) and Latin Modern (http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-fo...odern/download) since they are used often in type-setting Mathematics equations to replace Cambria Math. However, I can't seem to find a way to do so. Any help? Vincent |
