i think that equations are best handled by excel that
the can be inserted into word or other module for presentation, that is if excel is sufficient for creating a presentation or paper. Elliot wrote in message news Any idea would be appreciated. |

Does anyone know how to change the font colour of a equation in MS Word?
it's quite simple.
excel is used for calculations and word is used for desktop publishing. in excel you have options to manage, format and others that are unique to formula-tions. you cannot use word as a spreadsheet, but you can import objects (eg, calculations,...) from excel into word. and vice versa and this applies with any of the programs in MSOffice. g.l.

I think there should be some misunderstandings. What I mean was that I would

oh,
the equation editor is a small addition and is limited as being an object / pic with no fancy formatting features other than what a right click on the object would provide you. You could take that object and format it in a graphics software or buy a fancy upgrade for equation editing, as you wouldn't be the first to require these helpful formatting features. have you spoken to your professor about better equation editors...?

Hi Elliott,
Prior to Word 2007 there aren't too many easy choices for Equation Editor 3.0 color changes in Word. You can add a border or a colored background or highlight, but the color stays black. As an option, when finalizing your document (save a copy of the file under a different name) you can copy the equation object object into a Powerpoint slide and then use the Powerpoint Picture toolbar's 'recolor' choice to change the color of the Equation object, then copy it back to Word, but paste it as an Enhanced Metafile (picture) [you won't be able to reedit it]. Alternatively you can upgrade the MS provided Equation Editor to the more fully featured 'Math Type' version from Design Sciences at http://dessci.com or you can use, instead of the MS Equation Editor you can use the Word "EQ" (equation) field (Insert=Field). Equations created with the field method can be colored as regular text, but there is a bit of a learning curve to getting this to work if you have sophisticated equations. In Word Help search on field equation to get started. ============ Elliot wrote in message ... I think there should be some misunderstandings. What I mean was that I would like to change the font colour of a equation text editing by equation editor in Word. -- Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* |

Can't be done in Word with Equation Editor. With MathType, you can change the color of all or part of your equation.
