Occasionally, when using Microsoft Eq Editor (v3.0), I
will go to the "style" option in the menu bar and change
the style, but when I go back, the change I "requested"
was not retained. (Style change from math to text, it
keeps it as math style.) Additionally, from time to time
it won't align my equations at the equals sign, as
requested. This is not totally reproducible; any insights
regarding the method to the madness?
Here are some ideas that may help:
1. If you change from Math style to Text style, then enter a math
template, such as an exponent or a fraction, Equation Editor (EE)
should stay in Text style until you exit the template, then it
will revert to Math style. You'll need to go back to Text style
each time.
2. If you're switching styles and don't even have the opportunity
to enter anything in the new style before it switches back,
something's wrong. Please contact our tech support at
(e-mail address removed).
3. WRT the "align at equals" problem, sometimes this happens if
you don't fully exit a template before you enter the equals sign.
Take, for example, the instance where you have a definite
integral on the left, and an evaluation of the integral on the
right side of the equals sign. If you mistakenly enter the = sign
while still in the integrand, you will be unable to align
successive lines at the = sign. The way to prevent this is to pay
attention to both the vertical flashing cursor and the horizontal
flashing cursor at the insertion point. That gives a good visual
indication of "where you are" in the equation construction.
If none of these ideas provide the solution to you problem,
please write back and provide more information -- the more the
better.
