Re: Loosing Microsoft Equations

Well, I don't think we can be of much "help", sadly.

The memory leak will slow down a bit if you disable Show Project Gallery at
startup, if you switch off WYSIWYG font menus, and if you close the progress
window in Entourage.

The equation bug is just that, a bug. There's a Service Pack due out on
March 11th, which hopefully will fix it. In the meantime, try to ignore it:
the equations should burst back into life with the fix.

Get into the habit of Quitting, rather than minimising, applications when
you are not using them.

If you are suffering slow start-up: it's a conflict with OS 10.5.2 and we're
waiting for a fix from Apple for that one.

Not much good news, I am afraid.

Hope this helps

A plea for help!
I'm using WORD 2008 on a Mac running Leopard 10.5.2.

I have a 160 page document that has lots of Microsoft Equation Editor
equations in it. After a significant editing session (with auto-backup
switched on) they have all been trashed. They are all now just low-resolution
pictures. I can't even visit them to 'convert' them back to equations. All
knowledge of them being equations appears to be lost.

There is also significant memory leakage. After two hours of work, it claims
it can't save .

All help gratefully received!
