• Word Equation Dot Product

As like in equations we can add a dot over any letter by writing ' dot' or a double dot by ' ddot'. Is there any way to do the same while writing it in normal text and not in equations? This thread is locked. Many users become concerned when their equations are replaced with empty boxes or appear in gray-shaded boxes. Double-clicking these boxes will launch MathType and display the equation, and the equations will print correctly, but the equations are not displayed properly in Microsoft Word. Microsoft Word is a great tool for formatting text, but what if you want to insert a chemistry formula or diagram? Thanks to a new free add-in for Word, you can now insert high-quality chemistry formulas and diagrams directly from the Ribbon in Word.

Issue

Many users become concerned when their equations are replaced with empty boxes or appear in gray-shaded boxes. Double-clicking these boxes will launch MathType and display the equation, and the equations will print correctly, but the equations are not displayed properly in Microsoft Word.

Reason

The 'empty boxes' behavior is a feature in Microsoft Word called 'Picture (or Image) Placeholders' designed to conserve RAM. The Picture Placeholders option helps minimize the amount of computer resources required to display a page and helps Word scroll multiple pages faster on-screen. So long as your computer does not have insufficient RAM, you can toggle this setting so the equations in your document display on-screen.

The 'gray-shading' behavior is a setting called 'Field Shading' designed to make finding equations and other OLE objects easier when they can be difficult to see among surrounding content.

Solution

As these are features of Word, it is advisable to refer to Word's Help files to learn more about them and how they are activated.

If none of the equations or other graphics in your document display (Windows only)

If you find that all of the graphics in your document are not being displayed, Picture (or Image) Placeholders is probably enabled. To turn this option off, do the following:

1. Select
   • Office button | Word Options | Advanced |Show document content (Word 2007)
   • File tab | Options | Advanced | Show document content (Word 2010 and later)
2. Uncheck the box for Image Placeholders or Picture Placeholders.

If this was the cause, unchecking this option will cause all the objects in the document to be displayed again.

If some or all of the equations or other graphics in your document display in a gray-shaded box

If you find that some or all of the graphics in your document display in gray (or striped) boxes, Field Shading is probably enabled. To turn this option off, do the following:

1. Select
   • File tab | Options | Advanced | Show document content (Word 2010 and later)
2. Under Field Shading, select Never from the pull-down menu.

If this was the cause, setting this option to Never will cause all the objects in the document to be displayed properly again.
