  The settings should appear as shown above. The top group of items controls 

the number format. We want to add a chapter number, so check the “Chapter 
Number” checkbox. Notice how the preview changes to <1.1.1>). 

  Check the “Whole document” checkbox so that the changes we make will be 

applied to existing equation numbers. Then click OK. 

You’ll notice that the document has changed, and the equation numbers now 
read <1.2.1>, <1.2.2> etc. This is because the chapter/section break at the start of 
the document sets the chapter number to 1. This was added to the document 
when we inserted the first equation number. Let’s pretend we want to set this to 
be Chapter 2. 

  Choose the Modify Chapter/Section Break command on the MathType 

menu, and the following dialog will open. You’ll see that the break itself has also 
been made visible in the Word document. 

 

  Change the Chapter number value to 2 and click OK. The numbers in the 

document should now read <2.2.1>, <2.2.2> etc. 

Now let’s try changing the format of the numbers more dramatically. We’ll set 
the format so that the numbers read Equation 2.2.1, Equation 2.2.2 etc. 

  Choose the Format Equation Numbers command on the MathType menu. 

Select the Advanced Format radio button, and enter Equation #C1.#S1.#E1 in 
the edit box. You’ll see how the Preview changes. 

  Check the “Whole document” checkbox, and click OK. The equation 

numbers in the document should be updated. 

You can experiment with different custom formats in this manner. The 
‘language’ used for the formats is very simple, all characters are used literally 
except for the constructs #Cx, #Sx and #Ex, where x indicates the numeric 
representation and can be one of 1,a,A,i,I.
