MathType equation numbers are not listed in cross-reference

[Guest]

I have MAthType 5.2 and Office 2003. When I want to refer to an equation, I
see that the cross-reference has not listed the equations. Can anyone help?

I have MAthType 5.2 and Office 2003. When I want to refer to an equation, I
see that the cross-reference has not listed the equations.

Most likely, the "caption label" hasn't been created on your machine. If you
press Alt+F9 to toggle on the field codes, you should see SEQ fields that
generate the caption numbering. What's the "label" in one of these fields?

Go to Insert/References/caption and click "New label". Type the label into
this dialog box. OK. Close. Now you should see it in the Cross reference list.

It's not clear from your post exactly the method you're using to
cross-reference your equations. Rather than using Word's method of
cross-referencing text, figures, equations, etc. (i.e., Insert > Reference >
Cross-reference), you should be letting MathType do this for you. In order
to cross-reference an equation, you first have to number the equation.
MathType will do this for you if you use either of the "Insert Numbered
Display Equation" icons on the MathType toolbar. (These icons are the third
and fourth from the left.) To reference a numbered equation, you click on
the "Insert Equation Reference" icon, which is 6th from the left (which is
the second icon after the separator). These commands are also on the
MathType menu in Word. There's no easy & elegant way to reference an
equation that's inline with your text.
