Equation Editor attached to Word 2003
I am a computer novice. I have Office 2003. Microsoft's Equation Editor is
attached to my Word 2003. In order to install MathType, I must de-activate or remove Microsoft's Equation Editor. How do I do this? Thank you for any help you can give me. |

I don't believe you need to remove Equation Editor before installing
MathType. See http://www.dessci.com/en/products/ma...how_to_install . jfg wrote: I am a computer novice. I have Office 2003. Microsoft's Equation Editor is attached to my Word 2003.

Equation Editor attached to Word 2003
Thanks for your response, Garfield.
MathType has come out with Version 6. I tried to install it and got the error message that neither MathType 5.2 nor Microsoft's Equation Editor could be running. Furthermore, I could not uninstall MathType 5.2 while the Equation Editor was running. My solution was to uninstall Office 2003 and then MathType 5.2.

It wasn't necessary to uninstall MathType 5.2 in order to install MathType 6, nor was it necessary to uninstall either Office 2003 or Equation Editor in order to install MathType 6. It's just that, like the message said, none of these applications could be *running* at the time you install MathType 6. If the MathType *server* was running (a normal condition), the install would not have continued. The MathType server is indicated by an icon that looks like 3 cascading white pages, the front one having a blue Sigma symbol on it. This icon is located in the notification area (formerly known as the system tray), which is the area of icons at the lower right corner of your monitor screen, to the left of the clock. To exit the MathType server, right-click on it and select "Exit". At any rate, I'm glad you finally got MathType 6 installed. If you have any problems with it, there is extensive online documentation in the Help menu.

Thank you very much, Bob. I was not aware of the MathType icon in the
notification area. I have just identified it, so if I need to stop MathType 6 from running in the future, I now know how to do it.

BTW, another thing that's nice to realize about the MathType Server (and the icon) is that when you make changes to your keyboard shortcuts, toolbars, and functions recognized, these changes aren't saved until the server exits. Personally, I just leave the server on all the time, but if I *really* want to make sure my recent customizations are saved (not lost, like in the event of a computer crash) I manually shut down the server. It only costs me a few extra seconds next time I use MathType. When you save Preference Files (Preferences Equation preferences Save to file) these are saved immediately, hence don't require the server to be shut down in order to save. -- 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 5 MathType, WebEQ, MathPlayer, MathFlow, Equation Editor, TeXaide |
