I looked inside my WinXP partition and I can't find Equation but, perhaps you have installed it with Microsoft Office? I'm unsure if I have installed it or not and I'm under Ubuntu now. Make sure that such utility really comes with Vista because I remember myself using that program in the Office 97 times.

I have version 3.1. The help file leads to:
http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/default.htm Quote: You will have 30 days in which to enjoy all of the features of MathType. If you do not purchase MathType within 30 days, it will become MathType Lite. This is exactly like Equation Editor, with the bonus of MathType's fonts and symbols, which you may use with our compliments. |

I have an XP partition too and couldn't find it in the location quoted above, didn't look through every folder though. I do have installed Microsoft works for windows 8, but don't recall seeing anything about an "Equation editor" program. On another subject, are you officially a moderator now? If so congratulations

Equation editor seems to be a fully functional (as far as I can tell) freebie. Although a well hidden freebie  Last edited by madmatt on 17 Nov 2007, 22:27; edited 1 time in total |

Its proprietary as I remember, but I haven't used it since http://www.openoffice.org/ has formulae inside without any fuss. And its tied more closely to all the office products.
I think Microsoft bought it in from these guys: http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/ I used their products before discovering M$'s Equation Editor. If you don't have it installed with Office, then its probably because you haven't chosen custom installation. Most users unfortunately do that and they don't even know what crap they install and what valuable stuff they are missing. One of them is definitely the additional formulae in Excel. Some "*-pack" can't remember. Btw, there's also MathML for web, example from Mozilla: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/ |

It comes with office. (the 2003 version has it).
You need set Custom Installation and Edit in the Office Tools programs and add this program. |
