Whenever I insert an equation using Equation Editor, it looks fine in the
edit window, but all the symbols change when I click back into the word
document. All the math symbols are replaced by non-mathematical symbols
(ribbons, books, arrows, etc). I'm using Office XP. Any suggestions?

Thanks

First place to start troubleshooting is your Style definitions.
With Equation Editor open, click Style Define. These styles
must be set to Symbol font: L.C. Greek, U.C. Greek, and Symbol.
The other styles may be set to whatever font you want.

I tried your suggestion. They were all set to symbol. So, Still no useful
equations in my word document.

Any other suggetions?

It could be a corrupted Symbol and/or MT Extra font. If you'll
write me privately, I'll send you new copies of both.
