Issue

After opening a previously saved Word file containing MathType equations, you discover all or some of the MathType objects have become non-editable 'pictures.' This is associated with the Auto-recovery function in Word. We know this is a Word bug because the issue is not limited to MathType, and happens with other 'embedded objects', such as Excel charts. Microsoft Word 2010 For Mac free download - Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2010, Microsoft Office Publisher 2010, and many more programs.

Many users become concerned when their equations are replaced with empty boxes or appear in gray-shaded boxes. Double-clicking these boxes will launch MathType and display the equation, and the equations will print correctly, but the equations are not displayed properly in Microsoft Word.

Reason

The 'empty boxes' behavior is a feature in Microsoft Word called 'Picture (or Image) Placeholders' designed to conserve RAM. The Picture Placeholders option helps minimize the amount of computer resources required to display a page and helps Word scroll multiple pages faster on-screen. So long as your computer does not have insufficient RAM, you can toggle this setting so the equations in your document display on-screen.

The 'gray-shading' behavior is a setting called 'Field Shading' designed to make finding equations and other OLE objects easier when they can be difficult to see among surrounding content.

Solution

As these are features of Word, it is advisable to refer to Word's Help files to learn more about them and how they are activated.
