SOLVED: Why is INSERT, EQUATION EDITOR Greyed Out in Word 2007

… and the answer is, because you are working the old 1997-2003 .DOC format.  Save your file as a 2007/2010 .DOCX format and all will be well.

  • Try to uncheck the ,,Maintain compatibility with previous versions of Word'' when you ,,save as'' and -> more options.

  • This is not the solution to this problem. I have an old Word file, saved it as docx, with compatibility checked, or wthout - the insert equation is disabled. Very, very, very annoying. I cannot edit my book.
