How to ADD equations, drawings to Word 2003?
How do I add technical diagrams to Word 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am typing an engineering document for school. This requires me to add drawings and equations to it. The equations are of the type normally found in calculus, namely integrals, partial dervatives, summations, with Greek letters etc. Word allows me to insert Greek letters, but it balks when I try to put them in equations, under radical or integral signs, etc. The drawings are circuit diagrams, but they are not terribly complicated. I see in WORD 2003 that I can ADD a picture, but it isn't clear HOW to DRAW the picture. Do I need to buy additional software to add the circuit diagrams and/or equations? Can I get those in one package? Thanks; Bill -- William Sinclair |

How to ADD equations, drawings to Word 2003?
If you've already created these diagrams in another program, have you tried
Insert | Picture | From File? To create equations, you can use the Equation Editor, which is not installed by default. First check Insert | Object | Create New and see if Microsoft Equation 3.0 is listed. If it is, then EE is installed (you can add a toolbar button to make it more easily accessible). If not, go to Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs, select Microsoft Office, and click the Change button. In the first page, select "Add or Remove Features." On the next page, expand "Office Tools." Select Equation Editor and set it to "Run from My Computer." Click the Update button, and insert the Office CD when prompted. -- Suzanne S.

To find out, click Insert Object and look in the list for Microsoft Equation 3.0. If it's there, select it and click OK to start entering an equation. If it isn't there, go to Control Panel Add/Remove Programs, select the Office item, and click Change. Select "Add or Remove Features" and click Next. Check the box for "Choose advanced customization of applications" and click Next. Expand the icon for Office Tools, click the Equation Editor icon, and choose "Run from my computer". Click the Update button. You may be asked to insert the Office CD. There is also a better editor at http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/default.htm, and there is a free 30-day trial download. ~~~~~ For drawings: The Microsoft offering that does this is Visio (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/visio/default.aspx). If that's too pricey for you, search around the 'Net.
