The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft PowerPoint for the Macintosh, version 4.0
 - Microsoft Equation Editor for the Macintosh, version 2.0x
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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.
