Microsoft Equation Editor 3.0 (MEE) was a third-party component that was included in many versions of Office to help users add math equations to documents. MEE was pulled from the product, retroactively back to Office 2007, due to security concerns. The modern, built-in, Office equation editor uses Office Math Markup Language (OMML) as the preferred format for equations in Office files.

You should convert any existing MEE equations to the OMML format if you want to edit them.

How do I convert an equation?
All you need to do to initiate a conversion is to double-click on your equation, or select the equation and press Enter. When you do that you should get a prompt that offers to convert this equation (and all other equations in this file) to the OMML format.
Note: You only need to do this on equations that were created in Microsoft Equation Editor.
Will my equation convert successfully?
In most cases the equation should convert just fine. You may see some formatting differences, like a slightly different font or spacing, and if you've used colors in your equation you may have to reapply the colors after conversion.
One exception is that the equation converter does not support long division. If your equation contains long division you'll probably want to recreate it rather than converting it from the old format.
I double-clicked but I didn't get prompted to convert my equation
If you don't get prompted to convert there are a few possible causes:

MathType vs Equation Editor
Equation Editor (aka 'Microsoft Equation 3.0' and other names) was included with Microsoft Office and other products for many years. It is not included with Microsoft Office any longer, but you may still have it if you have not updated your copy of Microsoft Office or if you have other applications that include Equation Editor. Even if the software on your computer no longer includes Equation Editor, you or your colleagues may still have documents that contain equations created with Equation Editor. This section of FAQ should help.

MathTypeMicrosoft Equation Editor 3.0 Download Freecannot create equations in the old Equation Editor format.General use FAQHow do I type a space into an equation? Why does it beep when I hit the spacebar?MathType automatically applies spacing according to the rules of mathematical typesetting as you type. This involves six different space widths, none of which is the width of a normal space. Since people are so accustomed to hitting the spacebar while typing, we disable it when you're typing math. However, MathType also has a Text style, allowing you to type a plain phrase or sentence in the middle of an equation, so naturally the spacebar works in Text style. If you find you always need additional space at certain places in routine expressions, such as after the comma in an ordered pair for example, we recommend rather than pressing the spacebar, change the spacing definitions. For more information, see Define Spacing Dialog.Comments are closed.
