Word 97 + Word 2007
I've been using Word 97 for ages. Just installed Office 2008 Home &
Student. Looks like they share the same Normal.dot. Now I can't get 97 to work as it used to. Any advice? What is up with this H & S version anyhow? Is it a crippled version, as in "Works"? Its current look & field is weird. Toolbars fill half the screen. Thanks Jack |

Word 97 + Word 2007
They don't share the same normal.dot. Word 2007 does not use normal.dot at
all. It's default template is normal.dotm. If you have both Word 97 and Word 2007 installed, there will inevitably be some interaction between them. See http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm The version of Word in the Home and Student version of Office 2007 is operationally exactly the same as in other versions of Office. There is nothing 'crippled' about it. Yes it does look radically different from 97. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jack Crenshaw wrote: I've been using Word 97 for ages.

It seemed to me that I had to reset all my settubgs in normal.dot. But I tend to use existing files as the bases for new files, so perhaps I've been getting their settings all this time (year or so).

But I have replaced the Word 97 equation editor with Mathtype, and Word 2007 didn't attach to it. The equation editor in 2007 seems vastly different from (and less capable than) either of the others.

you'll find that the legacy Equation Editor is still there fit and well. You need to add the Insert Object command button to the Quick Access Toolbar. Then you can use Insert, Object and select Microsoft Equation Editor 3.0 and you'll be back on familiar territory. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Jack Crenshaw" wrote in message ...

Hmmm. Well, now it looks like I've got yet another problem getting in
the way of doing anything. Every time I launch 2007, it configures itself all over again. It _SEEMS_ to be going on line. Is there any way to make it stop doing that???

Editor, I can insert a Mathtype object as well. It's just that Mathtype isn't hooked into the toolbar like I;m used to. No doubt I'll figure a way to do that eventually. Thanks a lot for all your help. Jack |

Add the following macro to the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar)

Jack, MathType 6 is compatible with Office 2007, and installs its own
tab onto the Ribbon in Word and PowerPoint. It has to be installed after Office though, so if you already have MathType 6 and don't have a MathType tab on the Ribbon, reinstalling it should do the trick. -- 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, TeXaide On 30-Apr-2008, Jack Crenshaw wrote: By golly, there's Mathtype!!
