Hello:
	I have recently been plagued by the most annoying problem
in Word 5.0 and was wondering if anyone else knew what is causing this and
how to rememdy/fix this. 

It seems that when I try to edit some equations that I have previously
entered into my document; I get put inot the picture editor as opposed to
the equation editor. The really weird part of this is that it seems to do
this only on certain equations; not on all of them. The equatiojns being
used are a wide mix; but are in general ones that use alot of subscripting
and Greek fonts. 
On first inpsection; it seems that somehow these equations are being thought
of pictures. Odds are I will have to re-typing them all in. My standard   
procedure has been to use the "edit object" option.  Could it be, perhaps,
that I am using a method that is hitting up against some subtle system bug ??

BTW, I am running on a Mac IIsi with sys7.0.(a ???) with 5 MB ram and a 160
M hard disk.

Much thanks        

jim
