MathType Tool Bar does not appear on ribbon of Office 2007 Ult
I have both Office Ultimate 2007 and MathType 6.0. Until today, I had the
MathType tab on my ribbon. Somehow it has disappeared. I followed the instructions below (downlaod and "re"-install) but no luck. I do have the tab in PowerPoint, though. Can anyone offer some suggestions? Thanks. -- Ted in Chicago "Steven" wrote: Bob and Herb I went to MathType, got their phone number and called them concerning this issue. They said this is a common issue when loading in Ofice 2007 Ultimate and to do this: DO NOT UNINSTALL MathType. Go to their website and click on the thirty day free trial download. Click on the download which will detect if you have MathType or the Lite version. Click OK and then download and install again without uninstalling your present copy. Uninstalling your copy of MathType confuses the MathType downlaod server and causes a lot of peoblems. It is important not to have any open windows, especially Office programs while downloading and installing. Once this is accomplished there is no need to re-boot. Open Word or Excel or any Office suite program that utilizes MathType and viola! MathType appears between the Developer and View tabs on the ribbon and is ready to use. I did these things and now my MathType Lite is on the ribbon and functioning perfectly. I'd like to thank both you guys for your assistance and always appreciate the fact you're here to help. Hope this information is beneficial to you two and any others who may have experienced the same thing. Thanks again. Steven, Northglenn, CO -- That''''''''s it!

If anybody knows about what does and doesn't work with MathType in Word 2007... you should! -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Bob Mathews" wrote in message ... Steven, the Developer tab isn't necessary in order for the MathType tab to show up, but having it there doesn't hurt anything, so you don't need to delete it if it isn't in the way. One thing you said that I need clarification on before we go farther -- you "had the trial version and let it expire". You never said you purchased MathType. One of the features that is in the full version of MathType that isn't in MathType Lite (the expired version) is the Ribbon tab in Word & PowerPoint 2007. If you've purchased a copy of MathType, I can help you get the tab back. If you're trying to find the tab with the expired version, there's nothing we can do to get it back short of purchasing a product key. You should still be able to use MathType Lite in Word 2007 by going to the Insert tab, and in the Text group, click on Object. MathType Lite should be in there. -- 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 On 28-Aug-2008, Steven wrote: I appreciated your comments Bob. I loaded the Developer tab onto the ribbon and still noted there is no MathType tab. One thing; I had the trial version and let it expire. When this happens you are allowed to keep a modified version minus a few bells and whistles. I am currently a university student and am in two math classes on line. I have to turn in a test this Sunday and am desperate to find the MathType somewhere on my computer so I can see what version it is. I've only had it for one month so I am assuming it is at least Math 6. What do you think? Could you tell me where I can locate it since it's not on my Word screen? Also, I read the install instructions very carefully when I installed MathType and had to go into Ofice 2003 and do some stuff I can't remember the first time it loaded. Since it works so very well I assumed I followed all directions on the initial install. |
