Equation Editor Problems
I'm currently using Microsoft Office Pro 2003, have installed Equation Editor
3.0 countless of times due to problems in reading reports containing mathematical equations from friends. I don't know why my the equations can't be read when I'm using a rather new version of Word. All the symbols that come out are gibberish nonsense. When I convert using equation editor, the equations come out incomplete with several mathematical signs missing. This is highly frustrating. However, when using my sister's PC(she uses Word 2000), the equations come out fine. I'm at my wits end as this is causing much inconvenience to my school work. I would appreciate if someone can help me resolve this issue, as well as resolving the problem of me having to convert each and every single equation in the report instead of Word automatically converting the equations for me. |

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the advice given. However, even after installing Mathtype, I find that the equations are still "bad". I really don't know what's wrong. The document my friend sent was created using Equation Editor, hence there should be no reason why I can't read it properly. The exact document, which I sent over mail to my sis's PC from my PC, is able to be seen properly. Is there any other problem I may not know about? Please advise. Thanks.

When I convert using equation editor, the equations come out incomplete with several mathematical signs missing. This is highly frustrating. Could it be that some of the equations were created with MathType, and not Equation Editor? Do this... Click on one of the "bad" equations (that's a single click, not a double click). Look at Word's Staus Bar (the bottom of the Word window). At the lower left, it will tell you what kind of object that is. If it says "MathType 4" or "MathType 5", then Equation Editor can't open it. Regardless of the answer to the above, MathType should be able to open & edit the equations. You can download the trial version at the link in my signature, and even if you decide not to buy it, it will always open MathType and Equation Editor equations. The only downside to that is that someone without at least MathType Lite (which is what the trial version is called after the trial period is expired) won't be able to open your equations. -- Bob Mathews Director of Training 830-990-9699 http://www.dessci.com/free.asp?free=news FREE fully-functional 30-day evaluation of MathType 5 Design Science, Inc. -- "How Science Communicates" MathType, WebEQ, MathPlayer, MathFlow, Equation Editor, TeXaide |

I don't really know what could be the problem, but if you want to send me the document privately, I'll take a look at it. -- Bob Mathews Director of Training 830-990-9699 http://www.dessci.com/free.asp?free=news FREE fully-functional 30-day evaluation of MathType 5 Design Science, Inc. -- "How Science Communicates" MathType, WebEQ, MathPlayer, MathFlow, Equation Editor, TeXaide |
