Equation Editor Grief

Have a client who uses the EqE in power point 2000 on a
windows 2000 machine. Once his equation has been inserted
and saved, is ok. However, when he clicks on the completed
equation, it completey disappears and does not come back.
I appears to be erased. He has lost a lot of previous work
due to this behavior. Any ideas why this happens and how
he may correct it? thanks

Hi Larry,

Creating Equations in PowerPoint
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00506.htm

And The EQe Help Topic says:

Edit an equation

Using OLE, you can edit equations in your document. When
you double-click an equation, the Equation Editor window
opens for you to make changes. If you start Equation
Editor as a separate application, you can edit an equation
and then update it in your document.

1 Double-click the equation.

The Equation Editor toolbar appears and its menu bar
temporarily replaces the application menu bar.

2 Make the changes you want.

You can add, delete, or change elements in an equation.
You can also apply a different style, size, or formatting
to text, or adjust spacing and location of elements.

3 When you have finished editing, click anywhere
outside the Equation Editor object. If you started
Equation Editor as a separate application, from the
Equation Editor File menu, choose Exit And Return To
Document Name. The equation is updated in the document.

It also says you should upgrade to:
