    Equations not displaying properly in MS Office


    As the title says, my equations doesn't display properly and it's really giving me a hard time. Symbols show up as random characters like a minus sign being a bicycle. This happens in PowerPoint and Excel also. I tried reinstalling office but the problem still persists.
