I typed in e=mc2

It gave me E=mc2 (1)

Good: that's what it is supposed to do.

So I did a second equation (made up for the purpose)

p =(q + 1)2
New line and *fn* and then F3

But got E=mc2 (2)
again ...

Good: right again.

What gives?

Only that you misunderstand how to use this. You cannot type the
equation into the text (Writer) document directly, as it needs to be
defined as a Math equation.
o Enter "FN" and press F3. You get the dummy numbered equation (E=mc^2).
o Now double-click the dummy equation. The Math window opens at the foot
of the window and you can edit the equation's definition - removing it
entirely and replacing it with your own.

I trust this helps.

Doh!! Yes - sorry all - figured it out: the E=mc2 is a place-holder :-)

Oh dear ... some mothers' do have 'em.

Apologies & thanks
