Okay I have just updated my word 2003 to the latest service
pack 1...but this has not helped.
Well the only thing that could be causing your problem is an
issue with a font. You've installed the MathType fonts, but it's
possible that there is more than one copy of some of your fonts,
and this could be causing the problem. Even if you have ten
different copies of a font (Arial, for example) when you look at
your listing of fonts (Control Panel > Fonts), it will only show
one. Please bear with me and let's try to delete the duplicates:
1. Go to Control Panel > Fonts to show your font list.
2. Click on MT Extra (True Type). While holding down the Ctrl key
on the keyboard, click on Symbol (True Type). Note that you may
also see fonts with the same name that don't specify True Type.
If you see these, they'll have an image of a lowercase "a" in the
icon. The fonts you want to select are the ones that show either
a "TT" or an italic "o" in the icon.
3. Press Delete.
4. Close the font listing and re-open it. For some reason, if you
have multiple copies of a font and you delete one, it won't show
another copy as being present until you close & re-open the list.
Refreshing the list won't do it.
5. If you still have copies of the True Type versions of either
MT Extra or Symbol, repeat the above steps until the listing
doesn't show any.
6. Re-install the MathType fonts. The MathType font set doesn't
include Symbol, so I'm sending that to you privately.
Let me know if this solves the problem.
