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.
