Word Equation Editor

[Hamid Rad]

Hi,

I am using Microsoft Office 2000. In a word document when
I use the Equation Editor to type an equation, I can see
the equation while I am in the Equation Editor mode, but
when I get out, I see a rectangular box with nothing in
there. If I double click on the box, it takes me back to
the Equation Editor again and I can view the form of the
equation I typed, but not when I am in the text mode.
Please advise me on how I can solve this problem.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from
you.

The Equation is a 'drawing object', so you need to be in Print Layout View
(NOT normal view) and under Tools, Options, View tab you need to check the
Drawing box.
