(Bob Mathews asked...)
2. Was the document with the problem equation created with
the same version of Word, and on the same computer?
(and the reply was...)
Not on the same computer, and I don't know if the
instructor
has the same version.
(Bob Mathews asked...)
3. Does this happen with only one document, and only with
certain equations within the document, or does it happen
for
all equations and all documents?
(and the reply was...)
It has happened with both of the documents he has paosted
with equations in them. As a matter of fact, some of my
class mates have sent me documents with equations and I
cannot view them as well.
Your answers to the questions above lead me to believe your
instructor probably used MathType (MT) to create the equations,
and not Equation Editor (EE). Even so, the EE error message will
still be the one you mentioned ("this equation cannot be edited
as it was created by a newer version of Equation Editor"). What
I'd recommend is to download our "test drive" version of
MathType, which is free and full-featured for 30 days. If you
want to use it beyond 30 days, you can pay for it and retain full
functionality, but that's not required. You can continue to use
it indefinitely in a reduced-features version called "MathType
Lite", which retains all the EE features, plus a bit more. What
this WILL allow you to do is to read, print, and even edit any
equation your instructor (or fellow students) creates with either
MT or EE. I'm almost 100% certain this will solve your problem.
If you want to try it, follow the link in my signature, and under
"Free Downloads", click on "MathType 30-day".
