    Hey,

    I'm running MS Word 2007 (Home and Student) on HP Compaq, Vista. I tried to insert an equation but it won't let me.....the equation button is grey/hollowed out and won't let me click on it.

    Anyone know why this could be?

    Thanks!

    Ste

    If I remember rightly, it's not installed by default, it defaults to install on first use. And there's been a problem with that particular module going back a few versions of Word where install on first use may not work. If you've still got the disc, go into Add/Remove Programs or Installed Programs or whatever the version of Windows you have calls it in Control Panel, select Word and install it to run from your computer from there.

    Of course, that mightn't be the solution but it's been the solution for every past version of Word faced with the same problem (I haven't done desktop support since before Word 2007 came out I'm afraid so I'm assuming this is still the reason why, certainly fits what you've described)

    (incidentally, not a laptop-specific problem so moving it to the all-encompassing Windows forum)
