DOORS doesn't display Word equations properly

When I insert a Word 2010 document as an OLE object using DOORS 9.6, the equation editor in Word works fine until I click anywhere else in DOORS.

Examples:

Here is what it looks like when I click inside the word equation editor:

Here is what it looks like when I click outside the editor:

Any thoughts on whether or not there's a work around?

Hello

I think the first step would be to find out if it is a windows or a doors problem.

Go to the Windows Start->Acessories->Word Pad. Doors uses this editor to produce the output. If you can paste the ole obect in this editor and everything works fine, it is a doors problem. If the editor shows the same problem, it is a windows problem. In this case no workaround may help.

Thanks for the reply! I copied and pasted the equation into Word Pad and it displayed the equation just fine.

Hi,

The problem was reproduced in my environment below as well.

DOORS 9521

MS Office 2010

Windows 7 Ent 32bit

 

I found out there is a Technote published regards to this issue.

Hi, I have the same problem but when I did copy-paste to the WordPad the equation was showing as an image and I couldn't edit.

So I did: Insert object-> Create from file, and browse my word document (consist the equation). and still it contained the misalignment.

Is it possible to have both- be able to edit the equation and see it properly on Doors?
