Equation Editor: All my saved files have had every symbol changed.
I have pages & pages of answer sheets with equations laid out in equation
editor. I teach night school to adults. All my symbols have changed. "()" has become f's. A division sign is now a film projectror. A "+" sign is a lightning bolt. Anybody got a clue? |

The clue is that the items that are supposed to be displaying with Symbol font are displaying with another font. Open Equation Editor, and in the Style menu, click Define. Make sure these styles are set to Symbol font: "L.C. Greek", "U.C. Greek", and "Symbol". All the other styles should be set to whatever your font in Word is. -- 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 |

Thanks Bob,
You put me miles ahead of where I was at. I checked and all 3 are set to "Bookshelf Symbol 7". This is the only option in the fonts drop down box with the word "Symbol" in it. Have you got any more ideas? Kenny "Bob Mathews" wrote: On 31-Dec-2004, "?B?S2Vubnk=?=" wrote: I have pages & pages of answer sheets with equations laid out in equation editor.

It would appear that somehow you have lost your Symbol font. Since this is a
Windows core font, it's hard to know how that could have happened, and I'm not sure what is required to reinstall it (presumably it is on the Windows CD somewhere). -- Suzanne S.

Thanks to eveyone for their help!
I was able to re-install the symbol font through the control panel and my problem is resolved. Thanks, again, Kenny "Suzanne S.
