How do you use MS Words Equation Editor or Math Type to post mathematical equations to BlackBoard?
You can cut-and-paste from MS Word into BlackBoard if your document only contains normal formatting (such as underline, bold, italic, superscripts, subscripts, etc.). However, if your MS Word document contains an equation built using its Equation Editor then you can NOT cut-and-paste into BB (doing so will result in the dreaded red-X). MS Word’s Equation Editor (which is similar to Design Science’s stand-alone Math Type software) allows you to type mathematical equations in a Word document. But the process to transfer those equations into a BB message is somewhat technologically involved. If you are planning to take more than one online mathematics course or are taking courses at the intermediate algebra or higher level, then it may be a worthy investment of your time. First you must check to see if you have the Equation Editor (EE) feature already installed in MS Word. EE is automatically included on a ribbon in MS Office 2007 and later.
