The equations created wont display properly

[kev]

I've installed equation editor on Word succesfully. However as I enter
equations via the equation toolbar they will not display properly and are
unidentifiable. I'm guessing that I am missing a font but I've installed
everything that I can.
Any ideas?

Thanks

You've pegged the problem as a font problem, but I doubt it's because it's
missing from your system. It's more likely not set correctly in Equation
Editor. With Equation Editor open, click on the Style menu, then click
Define (at the bottom of the menu). Make sure these styles are set to Symbol
font: LCGreek, UCGreek, Symbol. All the others should be set to the same
font you're using in Word.

Thanks a ton Bob Mathews!

I was facing the same problem and I have reinstalled office xp thrice since
last night - to no avail!

I was begining to get a bit under pressure because I have to finish my test
project working from home.

I am so thankful I found this critical 'piece' of information here.

God bless you for sharing.
