I have Mathtype lite on my home computer and Equation Editor at work and
seem to be having problems of compatibility.

I would like to remove Mathtype - is that possible? Easy?

Equation Editor *IS* Mathtype lite.

Chances are the one at home is a version ahead of the one at work because
you installed MathType, which takes you up to the latest version.

The recommended solution would be to install MathType everywhere. If you
don't want to pay for it, then let it degrade to MathType Lite.

This will produce a more capable Equation editor.

Cheers

John already gave a pretty good response, but I'm curious -- are the
"problems of compatibility" you're having, the "Disk Full" errors you
reported yesterday? If so, uninstalling MathType won't clear it up.

Are there other problems you're having with it?

I installed the demo Mathtype at home because I wanted to see if it could
handle cyrillic characters which I needed for one set of maths I was doing.

It did so but rather clumsily.

So I let it lapse to the Lite version by not upgrading.

But if at home I create a new equation, or edit one that was created at work
on Equation Editor then I can no longer use that equation at work.

Unfortunately my stuff needs to be used by a number of other people who may
or may not have Mathtype

So I must use the lowest common denominator.

Apart from the cyrillic reverse R character that is fine.

So I need to downgrade at home.

Unless I can convert the world?

Thanks

No, the Disk Full may be compounded by this but it is just that i cannot use
home generated Equations at work.

Hopefully, Bob will have a better solution...

I would advise you to do a "Remove Office" then replace it.

The reason being that MathType replaces some of the software components in
Office with upgraded ones. The only way to get them out again would be to
remove the entire Office suite, then replace it, then re-update it.

Sorry about that, but I can't think of another way to hook it out.

Cheers

Thanks for that John,

Yes the problem is that if I create an equation at home on Mathtype Lite and
send it to work I get the message "Cannot locate the server application for
Equation.DSTM4 objects"

Would hate that to happen to a colleague.

I will do the reinstall tonight.

Thanks to all.

The reinstall (when completed correctly did the job perfectly

Thanks
