Long division in Word 2007
As a middle school math teacher, I was so excited when I saw the
Equation button on the Insert ribbon of Word 2007 (instead of it being buried in the objects menu like it was before). So I went to use it to write a test and wanted to put a standard long division problem (you know, it looks like a square root sign with out the check mark part) into my document, which I know I could do before with equation editor in Office 95-2003. However, no matter how hard I look, I can't find anything that looks like it will show long division for me. Can someone please help me find this? I can't imagine they tossed it out. Thanks in advance! Shannay Witte New England Public School |

Long division in Word 2007
Shannay, "they" didn't toss it out because "they" never had it
there in the first place. Now clearly you know you had one available in Word 2003, so what in the world am I talking about? I'm talking about the "they" being Microsoft. The "new" equation editor in Word 2007 (aka, the "OMML equation editor") is what you're using, and I couldn't find a long division template there either. However, the "old" equation editor (aka "Microsoft Equation", or simply "Equation Editor") is still available, and still buried in the Insert Object dialog box. In the Text group on the Insert tab, click Object, the same Insert Object dialog that you know and love will pop up, and Microsoft Equation 3.0 will be one of the choices. The same 2 long division templates that you've been using in older versions are still there. There's another option -- MathType. MathType 6 is newly-released, and integrates very well with Office 2007, adding a MathType tab to the Word and PowerPoint ribbons. (The OMML equation editor isn't available in PowerPoint.)

Long division in Word 2007
Thanks so much for your help. I didn't realize it was two different things,
but I'm glad it is still in there somewhere (although I still have to dig for it). I think I tried MathType a while back and found it to be a nice product, but since public schools don't have the budget for lots of extras, I get along with what I've got! Thanks again!

Long division in Word 2007
Hi Bob
I hadn't realized that the old Equation Editor was still there in Word 2007. Thanks for pointing that out. Shauna Shauna Kelly.

Long division in Word 2007
There doesn't seem to be a built-in command you can add to the QAT, but the
following macro added there will do the job Sub InsertEquation3() Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject ClassType:="Equation.3" End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bob Mathews wrote: Shannay, "they" didn't toss it out because "they" never had it there in the first place.
