This doesn't happen every time I re-open a saved document, but if I re-open and re-edit often enough, eventually this occurs and from then on it continues to occur.įor those interested, my work-around is to first type some text beyond the point where the equation will be inserted. (TheĮquation box is higher than the text, so I presume it is the text that is lowered.) I can go to the Format Menu, select Font, then Advanced, and under the Position drop-down menu I can select Normal, but it won't stick. when I reopen a saved document, any new equations I insert are aligned lowered by 17 pts. When I create a new Word document, it seems I can insert as many MathType equations as I like without problem. I am using Word 2011 on a Mac under El Capitan. They say they cannot fix the problem, that it lies within Microsoft Word. MathType support says they sumitted all the details to Microsoft several years ago but to no avail. I have been searching the Microsoft forums and this problem has plagued every version of Word, both Windows and Mac, for over 6 years, with no solution in sight.
