How to keep equation format from reverting

E

el shrew

This question pertains to the equation editor in Word 2007. When inserting a
new equation, the default font settings are italic and cambria math. In some
case, I need to change a character to be bold, or not italic. This works
fine. However, upon reopening the document at a later time, I find that the
entire equation has changed to become all bold, for example, instead of mixed
bold and unbolded characters. Any way to keep this from happening?

What are the steps you're using to build the equation and what steps to apply character formatting?

Are the equations in 'Professional', 'Linear' or 'Normal text' format?\

If you start Word in safe Mode (hold ctrl key while starting Word) and create a new equation and apply formatting in a blank
document do you get the same issue when you restart Word?

1. Generally, I click "insert > equation" and then a combination of keyboard
input and clicking on elements in the ribbon to build the equation. Then I
highlight whatever characters with the mouse and use CTRL+B or CRTL+I to
format.

2. I believe they are in Professional, the default.

3. No, I tried this and the equation was fine upon restarting. However, the
format changes that occur in my working documents do not systematically
revert every time I restart word either. As I don't know the cause, it
appears to be random..

Thanks for any help, Dan
