Printing mistakes and Save as pdf files
hey..
for the university i need to do papers in physics and i use the equation tool in office 2007. when printing or saving as pdf lot of the equations if not all of them disappear and dont appear in the printed version or in the pdf file. I tried to change the printing options but still it doesnt print them. i guess this is a bug, the only way out of this, is saving the file as 2003 doc file but the thing is that it changes the equations into pictures and the quality of them is awful.. so, my question is if there is a work around for the printing issue / saving as pdf or if there is a way to change to quality of the equations being saved as pictures when saving back as doc format. please help me, i need to send my papers |

Luis, it's definitely a problem when printing Word 2007 Equation Builder equations to certain printers. I have 3 printers, two of which will print the documents fine and one of them (my default printer, of course) prints as you describe. I have also had the same problem with PDFs, so it's nothing you're doing wrong that's causing this, nor is there anything you can do to fix it. The only work-around I'm aware of is to try another printer. Like you've already discovered, it's not much of a solution to save them as a Word 2003 .doc file. Depending on how many equations you have in the document(s), another option is to use the other Equation Editor (aka "Microsoft Equation") or MathType. Equation Editor is still in Word 2007, even though there is also a different Equation Builder now. There's no way to convert Equation Builder equations to Equation Editor or MathType equations, so this option will only be useful if you only have a few (in which case you'll have to enter all your equations again), or if we're talking about new documents you haven't written yet. BTW, you access Equation Editor by clicking on "Object" in the "Text" section of the "Insert" tab. When the Object dialog pops up, look for Microsoft Equation 3.0 in the list. Click it, then click OK. -- Bob Mathews bobm at dessci.com Director of Training 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 |
