Equation editor not showing items

Hi there,

I am having equation editor issues in word 2010.  Basically I can click to enter an equation and the 'type equation here' appears, however when I click again to enter an operator or symbol, it comes up blank, thus I can't enter my desired equations.

I have tried the compatibility pack, reinstalled the office suite and tried every other option that I can think of (and have found on the web).  I paid for the office package for all of the features to work, not so I have to find an alternative feature that is not as user friendly (I can enter an equation editor 3.0 version by going through insert etc)!

I have attached a visual representation of my issue below.  

Please help!

Rather than re-installing, you should try to repair the Office Suite as that will reset a number of registry entries that are not affected by a re-installation.


The procedure for repairing the Office installation is detailed in the Knowledge Base article at:

Hi Doug,

Thanks for the response.  Unfortunately my previous list of actions was non-exhaustive, I have already tried the repair option; alas to no avail.

Do you have any further ideas/suggestsions?

Try File>Options>Advanced>Display and change the setting for "Disable hardware graphics acceleration".

Unfortunately changing the "Disable hardware graphics acceleration" had no beneficial effect.
