I've tried unsuccessfully to install Equation Editor in my Office XP
professional file. I've even unistalled Office and reinstalled it . What's
going on? I'm using Windows XP home edition. Also, I have plenty of disk
space.

Have you verified that Microsoft Equation 3.0 is not listed under Insert |
Object | Create New?

If you did a default install of Office, Microsoft Equation 3 should appear
under the list of Objects when you select Object from the Insert menu.

If it is not there, you may need to go to the Control Panel, and click on
the Add or Remove Programs item and then select the Office software from the
list of Currently installed programs and updates and then select Change and
then locate the Equation Editor to install it.

I had already tried what the first two responders suggested. It was all
unsuccessful.

Then you aren't doing it right.

I have not installed Office XP for a while so the details have faded.
However, I believe the default install has Equation Editor as one of the
items that "install on first use".

You can force an install by re-running Office setup from Conteol Panel
Add/Remove programs or from the CD and select a custom install. From
there, you will have to 'drill through' the settings until you lacate
equation editor on the options.

Let us know.

Thanks for all of the input. The problem has been solved. The default
installation of Office doesn't install the Tools package were Equation Editor
is placed. If you use custom installation, you have to click on complete and
it is installed.

The instructions you were given before should have allowed you to use Custom
and select the specific tools that include EE.
