This is something I’ve been doing for years with a macro in Word (follow the links for instructions in XP or Vista), but it is always difficult to go through the explanation of how to install a macro. There is one feature of MathType 6.5 which I am truly excited about, and that is the ability to open a new equation or to edit an existing equation without picking up your mouse. If compatibility is achieved through small GIF files, then why not just make a little desktop application that helps you to quickly create small image files of equations? I would guess that I would use Ming (if it existed) as often as I use Jing (especially since roughly 50% of my Jing files are little image files of equations).

Honestly, I’ve gotten most of the compatibility I need between MathType and Internet applications (Google, Blackboard, and WebAssign) by just using Jing with MathType to do a quickie image call.Īfter reading the lengthy descriptions for importing MathType equations via GIF on several software packages, I found myself wondering why MathType just doesn’t create their own version of Jing called Ming. The compatibility of MathType with Moodle (through TeX) and with heavyweight math programs like Maple and Mathematica (both achieved through MathML) looks fairly good and easy to use.ĭespite the commendable effort by Design Science to get our equations everywhere, there are still gaps in the portability of equations to all programs, and MathType’s compatibility with programs like Blackboard and Flash is still through the use of GIF or EPS files. You can browse the link to the compatibility matrix to see how to move your equations to other platforms. To summarize, Design Science thinks you should be able to port equations into any platform that you desire (I wholeheartedly agree). With this upgrade, you’ll be able to type LaTex directly in to Word and the text string will be converted to a MathType equation.Īnother new focus with MathType 6.5 is the Equations Everywhere and Anywhere functionality that they’ve been working on. Unfortunately older versions of these fonts are installed which do not have all the symbols.Design Science has just released MathType 6.5, which should give quite a bit of improvement to dealing with equations in Word if you are a traditional LaTeX user and you need to use Word. You will be prompted that the fonts are already installed. In this folder press and to select all and right click the top of the selection and select install:

For 32 Bit Windows: C:\Program Files\MathType\Fonts\TrueType.

For 64 Bit Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\MathType\Fonts\TrueType.

The fix is to navigate to the following folders and manually install the fonts: In simple terms older versions of these fonts are included within Windows and Office and the newer versions are not being installed as Windows thinks they are already installed.

Reinstalling usually doesn't help much as the fonts are in general not installed correctly on Windows 7 and 8.1 (particularly the 64 Bit version). Moreover many symbols are displayed as □. Please reinstall MathType (using your CD or downloaded installer) to obtain the correct fonts" " MathType requires a newer version of the MT Extra (TrueType) font than is currently installed. Unfortunately with the default installer, in all my installs (at least 50) the fonts don't install correctly and when MathType is used the very annoying error message appears when MathType is launched. MathType Lite will suffice most users but it should be noted that it lacks the ability to use TeX commands or to change the colour of the equation. After 30 days it reverts to MathType Lite.

The full version of MathType is by default installed as a 30 day trial. Earlier versions will have compatibility issues with later versions of Office and Windows.Īccept the license agreement and select next: The installer itself is quite simplistic and the latest version will work in Office 2003, 2007, 20. Hint if you don't want to give out your email address unselect the checkboxĪny Microsoft Office programs which you need to use should be installed before MathType. Installation requires Office programs to be closed in particular Microsoft Word and Outlook.

The latest version can be downloaded directly from here: MathType is an updated version of Microsoft Equation editor 3.0.
