![]() I’ve had similar things happen to me immediately following an update to Office or Windows. What causes these “sudden” problems? My best guess is that each of them installed an update to Office (Meg’s on XP, Jill’s on Vista) and the updates interfered with or blocked the macro-nature of MathType. Under the Templates tab, you will see a check box line for “MathType Commands …” Check the box. Here’s how to fix that.įirst go to the Tools menu, and choose Templates and Add-Ins Unfortunately, there is now a new problem (caused by Microsoft’s Equation Editor): the installation of the old equation editor has installed older fonts over the newer ones provided by MathType, so now you get a font error (which you can fix by following these directions).įinally, the MathType Toolbar was still gone. Now, clicking on the equation editor button will now open MathType and the Ctrl-E command works again. If Office asks you to reinstall the equation editor, then do it. What threw her over the edge was that Office kept telling her to reinstall the equation editor – which meant finding the CD – and she thought … this is silly, why the equation editor?Īs it turns out, that is EXACTLY what you should do. Okay, she thought … I’ll reinstall MathType. Falling back to old habits, she went looking in the Insert menu (on the object list) and sure enough, no MathType there either. MathType Tutorial 1 In our first tutorial, we will create the equation This is a very simple equation, but you'll learn about fractions and square root templates, and we'll explore the properties of the insertion point, and illustrate MathType function recognition and automatic spacing capabilities. To add insult to injury, her MathType toolbar was also (suddenly) gone. Funny, because Jill (another assistant) got the MT Extra font error yesterday and it was driving her nuts.īack to Meg’s story. And lastly is MathTools: - but this one is more for setting equations directly from ID rather than handling imported content from Word.īut to me this raises a separate question – can Adobe please update how InDesign imports Word files so that it can accept the revised way equations are imported? And yes, I've submitted this question to the wishform page before anyone asks.One of my assistants (Meg) was in a desperate panic today because her Ctrl-E command for MathType stopped working yesterday (and we are in the middle of a little project).Another is MathMagic: - this is better for handling incoming equations and editing them once they are placed into ID. ![]() They are working on a fix for this, I'm still waiting.
