Frequently Asked Questions
 

Why do I get this error when trying to open a project file: "Unable to open file. File was saved in a newer version (xxx)?
Files saved in a newer version of Math Composer may not work on older versions.  Make sure you have the newest version of Math Composer.  Visit the update page.

Why do dotted lines appear solid?
This occurs only in older operating systems: Windows 95/98/Me.  Windows NT/2000/XP handle dotted lines correctly.

Why won't Math Composer let me edit certain objects?
If an object is an imported picture it cannot be edited. 

Why does shading appear transparent on the screen but opaque when printed?
Different printer drivers handle shading differently.  I am currently investigating this issue.

Can I do a "silent installation" with Math Composer?
Yes, for a completely silent install use: mathcomposer.exe /SP /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES
