= SYMPTOM =

When you double-click a MathType 3.0 equation object in a PowerPoint presentation, Equation Editor will start instead of MathType.

= CAUSE =

Equation Editor registers itself in the Registration Database the same way that MathType does. Because Equation Editor 2.0 is newer than MathType 3.0, it replaces the registration entries for MathType.

= RESOLUTION =

This issue is resolved with MathType for the Macintosh, version 3.1. To obtain this release, contact Design Science, Inc. technical support, request Math Type version 3.1, and install it over the previous version.
