Math Symbols Equation Editor

Can I use Equation Editor in Publisher??

I know it works in Word, but I only use Word for memos. I prefer Publisher.
It is far superior to Word when doing creative papers.

message from Pelham Manor Cats <Pelham Manor

Can I use Equation Editor in Publisher??

Yes - go to Insert > Object > Microsoft Equation xx (where xx is the
version - normally 3.0)

 

[Pelham Manor Cats]

I did that and I do not see equation . The Microsoft I see is: Graph
Chart, Word and Word Picture. Where can I get this Equation Editor so I can
add it to Microsoft Publisher.

I just tried CorelEquation 11 Equation, but it does not have what I am
looking for. I need to type a large number followed by a small number higher
than the large number.

Is the Equation Editor installed?

Insert the first Office CD in your CD-ROM drive.
Open the Control Panel. You can do this either by double-clicking My Computer and
then Control Panel, or by clicking the Start button and selecting Settings, then
Control Panel.
Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
In the white box, locate the Microsoft Office entry that corresponds to what you have
installed and click once to highlight it. For example, if you have Office XP, locate
Microsoft Office XP Professional and select it.
Click the Change button.
When the Office installation window opens, select Add or Remove Features, then click
Next.
Note: At this point in Office 2003, you may see the Custom Setup screen. Check the
box labeled Choose advanced customization of applications, then click Next.
Next to Office Tools, click the + (plus sign) once. Click Equation Editor, and select
Run from Computer.
Click Continue. When Equation Editor has finished installing, click OK.

Okay Now I have it, but have one question. How do I key in a normal size
number that has a much smaller number following after and slightly higher than
the normal size number. example: 5 3 The 3 is smaller and half way up.
Do you know what I mean?? I am not a math person, so I do not know what to
call it.

Look on the toolbar in the Equation Editor. It's on the bottom row, and has
a symbol of a big dotted-line box with a small black filled box - a bit like
[]*
Try Ctrl-H - in the full MathType software (Equation Editor is a cut-down
version of MathType) you can use that keyboard shortcut.
The technical term in typography is "superscript". The opposite (when it is
low down) is "subscript", and that can be accomplished with Ctrl-L.

After reading most of the threads, you appear to be the most informed. Have
you ever experienced the following?

In a word file using math editor, the computer locks up and recovers the
file frequently. After recovery, some of the math becomes an object that
cannot be edited requiring that I reset that equation.

I make drawings in Power Point that have text and math, made with the math
editor. I group it and cut and paste it into the word file and always one of
the following occurs:

If the text in the figure is smaller than default font size of 12 pt, it
changes it to 12 pt. At times, some of the math symbols are changed. Also
the text and math items "move" and I have to readjust them.

Is there a way, in figures, when I group them in Powerpoint and cut and
paste the object into word, is there any way to keep it from changing?

Thank you for the compliment
As is the typical style, however, as you've replied to the group (a new post
would probably have been more useful), the rest of the group will probably
feel free to pitch in if they have something to say.
