Is there a Brownstone Equation Editor converter for Word 2007
I'm an adjunct instructor at a state university and have received
preformatted tests to accompany a new text. The equations in these tests are created with Brownstone Equation Editor 5.0. To edit an equation, I have to re-create it completely using the Microsoft Equation Editor. I really would like to save the time and trouble. Does anyone know of a converter for the Brownstone Equation Editor 5.0? Thanks |

Is there a Brownstone Equation Editor converter for Word 2007
Hello Bob,
Thanks for answering... I do have Microsoft Equation 3.0. When I double click on the Brownstone created equation, I get the message "The server application, source file or item cannot be found". When I "right click" the Brownstone created equation, the right click menu comes up with "Brownstone Equation Editor 5.0 Equation Object" as a selection. Selecting this in the menu brings up a sub-menu "Convert". Selecting "convert" only allows me to convert the Brownstone object to itself; it does not have a selection for Microsoft Equation 3.0. Hence, I either need a Brownstone to Microsoft converter or I am doing something wrong which, of course, is highly probable; I may have a "live-ware" error.

MathType should be able to edit the Brownstone equations, but
then they'll be MathType equations. If that's not a problem, I'd suggest downloading the evaluation of MathType from our website. If you choose not to buy it, a lot of its features will disappear after 30 days, but it'll remain usable in MathType Lite mode, which should still be able to edit Brownstone equations. -- 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 On 4-Nov-2007, PeterSCSU wrote: Hello Bob, Thanks for answering...

Thanks Bob,
I'll try MathType and if it works seamlessly with Word, then my problem will go away.

Equation Editor converter for Word 2007
hi there Bob,
I am having a similar problem - I have a document that has equations in it - they were created in office 2003, I now have office 2007 when I highlight the equation - the equation edit sysmbol under inster is greyed out.when I right click the equation and try and convert it to mathtype 5.0, i am getting the following "the server application, source file or item can not be found. Make sure the application is properely installed and that it has not been deleted, moved, renamed or blocked by policy" please advise Toni "Bob Mathews" wrote: On 3-Nov-2007, Peter wrote: I'm an adjunct instructor at a state university and have received preformatted tests to accompany a new text.

Equation Editor converter for Word 2007
Toni, seems like there may be a couple of things at work he
1. Documents created in Office 2003 would have equations created either with MathType or Equation Editor. Either way, when you open these documents in Office 2007 and click on an equation, the Insert Equation icon will certainly be grayed-out, since this icon is for OMML equations (i.e., equations created within Word 2007). So this behavior you report is normal. 2. The right-click option labeled "Equation Object Convert" shouldn't really be there in the first place, so I wouldn't bother using it. In most cases it works by opening up MathType, but a better way to open the equation is to double-click it. I'm assuming if you do that though, you'll still get the same error message, but it's worth a try. Another thing to try is to click on an equation (you don't need to drag the mouse across it to select it; just click it once), then copy it. Now paste it into a new MathType window. If it pastes in just fine, you're home free. Now you can use it as a MathType equation. If that works, and if you have a lot of equations in the document, you can shorten this procedure by first making sure there are no equations selected, then click on the MathType tab in the Ribbon. In the Format group, click on Convert Equations, then click Convert. That should convert all the equations in the document to MathType equations, but this assumes you're using MathType 6. Earlier versions of MathType will not give you a MathType tab on the Ribbon, so this command will not be available. If this doesn't work, I'll be glad to look at a document or two that's exhibiting this problem. You can send it to me directly. -- 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 MathType, WebEQ, MathPlayer, MathFlow, Equation Editor, TeXaide On 15-Jan-2008, Toni wrote: I am having a similar problem - I have a document that has equations in it - they were created in office 2003, I now have office 2007 when I highlight the equation - the equation edit sysmbol under inster is greyed out.when I right click the equation and try and convert it to mathtype 5.0, i am getting the following "the server application, source file or item can not be found.
