Q95425

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Equation Editor, version 1.0
 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.1

-

SUMMARY
If you run Equation Editor as a stand-alone application (rather than an OLE server application) and edit the active equation, a blank dialog box appears when you quit Equation Editor. The dialog box contains no message text, but it does contain Yes and No buttons.

If you choose the Yes button, Equation Editor closes. If you choose the No button, the dialog box closes and Equation Editor remains open.

Note: If you open Equation Editor as a stand-alone application and do not edit the active equation, Equation Editor closes and no dialog box appears when you quit Equation Editor.

MORE INFORMATION
To run Equation Editor as a stand-alone application instead of a server application, run EQEDIT.EXE from Windows Program Manager.

Equation Editor cannot save files when it is running as a stand-alone application. The only way you can save an equation you create in Equation Editor is to embed the equation as an object in a client document.

The following is an example of the message that should appear in the dialog box when you close a stand-alone session of Equation Editor:

Do you wish to close Equation Editor?

Closing Equation Editor will erase the current equation.

Note: When you launch Equation Editor from a client application (such as Word for Windows), edit an equation, and then quit Equation Editor, the following message appears instead of the blank dialog box:

Save changes to Equation in Document X?

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
