We now have two basic equations: 

 

 (1.1)

cos

sin

1

+

=

 

 (1.2) 

2

cos

cos 2

−

(1

cos 2 )

θ =

−

θ  (1.3) 

Using (1.3) we can show that cos

1 2 sin .

= −

Now we’ll insert another equation in the middle of this example to demonstrate 
automatic renumbering. 

  Place the insertion point before the word Subtracting, and enter the 

following text: Adding these two together, we obtain  

Equation Numbers 
You can insert just an 
equation number using 
the Insert Equation 
Number command. 

If Updating Is Slow 
If updating takes too 
long, uncheck “Update 
equation numbers 
automatically” in the 
Format Equation 
Numbers dialog. Then 
use the Update 
Equation Numbers 
command to manually 
update the numbers. 

Whole Document 
To change the format of 
existing equation 
numbers you must 
check the Whole 
Document checkbox. 
Otherwise you’re only 
setting the format for the 
next number(s) you 
insert. 

  Insert this numbered display equation:

cos

(1

cos 2 )

=

+

 

You’ll see that the new equation is numbered (1.3), and the following equation 
number and its reference have been renumbered to (1.4). Your document should 
now look like the example at the start of this tutorial. 

Whenever you insert an equation number or an equation reference, all numbers 
in the document are updated. However, if you move or delete an equation 
number, you must use the Update Equation Numbers command on the 
MathType menu to regenerate the number sequence. Also, be aware that 
deleting an equation number does not automatically delete any of its references; 
you’ll have to do this yourself. You can find them by using the Update Equation 
Numbers command, which will cause Word to display an error message in place 
of each reference. You can then delete them. 

You can also control the format of the equation numbers. 

  Choose the Format Equation Numbers command on the MathType menu 

(there’s no toolbar button for this command). Check the Whole Document 
checkbox (to change the existing numbers) and change the Enclosure option to 
<> (angle brackets). The preview shows you the result of your settings. Click OK, 
and you’ll see the equation numbers and references change to the new format. 
You may want to experiment with some of the settings — there are many 
possible combinations.
