Equation Numbering

[BRG]

Is there a way of numbering equations prodiuced by the inbuilt equation
editor on the right hand edge of the page while retaining professional
formatting? THat is in the form:

y = sin (x) (1.2)

When I try this the equation format changes to inline and this removes
features that I want to preserve.

The only way I have found to do this is to put the equations and the number
in one row of a two column table. This works but is very messy.

An alternative to using the table approach is to use tabs. We have a
tip about that in our "Equation Editor Tips & Tricks" document. See
Tip #4 & 5.

Thanks for the tip Bob. At the time I asked this question I thought that I
was in a forum dealing only with the Word 2007 beta. In Word 2007 there is
a native equation editor (Insert->Equation) and, as a MathType user, I also
see the add-in. For interest I have been comparing the two alternatives for
equation editing.

I have no problems with your add-in and I can number equations without
having ay impact on their format. But in the native equation editor
(insert->equation) any attempt to number an equation with 'professional'
formatting converts it to 'inline' form and this changes the format in a
number of ways.

My question was hence about the behaviour of the native equation editor in
Word 2007 (did you play a part in this as you have done earlier?).

Nope. The 'Insert > Equation" equation editor is Microsoft's. Ours is
still in Office 2007 though, accessible via Insert > Object > Object >
Microsoft Equation 3.0.
