With Equation Editor open, click on Style > Define. Make sure these 3 styles
are set to Symbol font: LC Greek, UC Greek, and Symbol.

I've already check these 3 styles LC Greek, UC Greek, and Symbol in the
Equation Editor and there OK.

Can you tell me another solution?

Thks for the help.

Perhaps I misunderstood your original statement of the problem. Can you tell
us again what the problem is? Give as many details as possible. For example,
what do you mean when you say "the number e signals that the equations
contains does not appear"?

When I insert the equation in word 2003, i use equation editor. i've already
check the fonts as you recomended me. it's ok.
in the equation editor, the equations that i want to insert does not cause
me any problems. I can write it well. the problem is when I close the
equation editor and go to word document where the equation must appear. in
this document, the equation is showed whit strange symbols. symbols that is
not part of the equation substitute the symbols and numbers that I insert.

If you can understand what i'm saying, please send me your e-mail so that i
can send you some pictures that explain the problem.

Thks.

I understand what you're saying, but I think I can get a better handle on
the problem if you send me a sample document. Send me a Word document that
looks like you describe -- where the equations don't display properly in
Word but they look fine in Equation Editor -- and I'll see how it looks to
me. There are two e-mail addresses here -- one in the header of the message,
which is where it'll go if you click "reply to sender", and there's a
different e-mail address in my signature below. Either of these will work.

Just to let everyone know about the solution to this problem. "KariKa" sent
me a document that showed strange characters in Word 2003, but it opened
fine for me in Word 2003. I sent KariKa a new copy of MTExtra font, with
instructions on how to replace existing copy(ies) of MTExtra with the new
one. The new font solved all the problems, and the equations show up
normally in Word 2003.
