Equation Editor Closes after every equation. HELP!
I am Using the Office Home/Student 2007 Trial version.
I have a problem with equation editor closing when I am done entering the equation and click on the document to continue with my work. I have to go to , Insert, Object, Equation editor and reopen it every time I need to enter a new equation. Is this normal? I have tried to put a shortcut on the quick access toolbar but I do not see the equation editor in the dialog box. What do I need to do to install it in the Quick Access toolbar and stop it from closing after every equation? -- lcross |

Equation Editor Closes after every equation. HELP!
Hi lcross
You can put the Insert Equation button on the Quick Access toolbar as follows. Click the round Office button, then Word Options. Click Customize, and in the "Chosoe commands from" list, select "Insert Tab". Now, you can choose "Equation" from the list, and click the Add button to add it to the Quick Access Toolbar. Even quicker is to use the shortcut: Alt-=. That is, hold down the Alt key and press the 'equals' key. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

I'm assuming you're using the "old" Equation Editor (aka "Microsoft Equation 3.0", which I'll call Equation Editor) that was in earlier versions of Word. I'm making that assumption since you said you were using the Insert Object route of opening Equation Editor. If my assumption is wrong, and you're using the "new" equation writer (which I'll call the OMML editor) then Shauna's earlier response is a good one. If my assumption is correct, then to answer your question, yes. This is normal. There's no "direct" way to put the Equation Editor (EE) icon onto the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). You can record a macro to open EE, and put an icon onto the QAT that runs the macro and opens EE. If you want to do that, let me know and I'll describe how. There's also a way to open EE separately from Word (i.e., from the Start menu) so that it stays open. To do that, click Start Run, or use the shortcut key Windows+R (that's the key to the left of the spacebar that looks like the Windows logo). Once the Run dialog is open, click Browse and navigate to this location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\EQUATION\EQNEDT32.EXE (That's such a long location path that it probably wrapped onto two lines, but I'm sure you can figure it out.) Click OK, and EE will open. Create an equation, select it, then cut it from EE and paste it into Word. EE will stay open. Next time you want to open it, when you open the Run dialog, the path to EE will be in the drop-down box; you won't have to use Browse to find it. -- 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 5 MathType, WebEQ, MathPlayer, MathFlow, Equation Editor, TeXaide |
