I have an XP Pro (SP2) machine running MS Office XP and MS Publisher 2003. Was trying to create equations today in MS Word and found that it's not working:
ALL signs (+, -, =, x, etc) show up as wingdings/little icons (arrows, etc.) or as a little vertical rectangle.
Also the entire Equation element is a dark grey color until clicked on for editing.
Needless to say, editing the equation does not solve the problem.
PLEASE HELP!! This is urgent.
I don't think SP2 is the problem - I have another machine same as above, w/o Publisher 2003, and I'm wondering if the combination of Office XP and Publisher 2003 is causing the problem.
All help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance
