Changing the colour of an equation

[Guest]

I am currently trying to make worksheets for my maths class and want to use
coloured text. I am using word but don't know how to change the colour of
the equations I have inserted using equation editor 3. I can change the
colour in powerpoint but the same button I use can't seem to be got in word
(i have looked through all commands on the toolbar). Does anyone know how I
can do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Lou,

I can't find a way either.
At least it is possible to highlight a formula.

Lou, you can't change the color of equations by using Equation
Editor. As you discovered, in PowerPoint you can change the color
of the entire equation, but you can't mix colors in an equation.
Also, if you color an equation in PPT, then copy it and paste it
into Word, it pastes as a black & white equation. MathType is the
full-featured version of Equation Editor. One of the features in
MathType that's not in Equation Editor is equation color. You can
color the equations directly in MathType, and have several colors
in a single equation if you want. The colors are retained no
matter what application you insert the equation into.
