    A common way to do this is to use a two-column table where you put the equation in the left column and a SEQ field in the right column.

    With the "new" equation feature (introduced in Word 2007), you can type # at the end of an equation and type (). Then press Enter and you will get this result:

    In the placeholder you just created, you can insert a SEQ field for numbering.

    If you are using MathType rather than the native equation editor, then your questions should be addressed to Design Science support.

    See Section 7 Captions and cross-references | Microsoft Word for the Social Sciences for one approach to doing this with the Caption feature. However, it is still not automatic. You create the caption and then move it into the table.

    Hi ,

    I'm Lee, an Independent Advisor.

    Choose Insert > Equation and choose the equation you want from the gallery.

    After you insert the equation the Equation Tools Design tab opens with symbols and structures that can be added to your equation.

    Hope that works for you.

    If that is not the case, please kindly attach a screen-shot of the issue so we could work towards resolving it.

    Regards,

    Lee
