Why do my maths equations show strange symbols?
Hi, I'm using word 2007. Whenever I try to add maths equations (by using
insert object microsoft equation 3.0), I get strange symbols instead of what I intend to type out (e.g. "+" or "-" turns into some strange font). The same happens when I try to open word documents that have maths equations in them. All maths equations that I try to view turn into strange symbols that do not make sense. Can anyone help? |

Start the equation editor. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, click
Style and choose Define. In the resulting dialog, make sure that the L.C. Greek, U.C. Greek, and Symbol items are set to the Symbol font, and all the others are set to Times New Roman. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. doss86 wrote: Hi, I'm using word 2007.
