More Ways to Create Equations
  • Entering Math by Hand: Entering equations as easily as you would write math with paper and pencil! This feature uses the built-in handwriting recognition in Windows 7 or later.
  • Point-and-Click Editing with Automatic Formatting: Create equations quickly by choosing templates from MathType's palettes and typing into their empty slots. MathType applies mathematical spacing rules automatically as you type.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts: Save time using keyboard shortcuts. MathType has customizable keyboard shortcuts for virtually every symbol, template, and command.
  • Type TeX or LaTeX: If you already know the TeX typesetting language, you can enter equations directly into MathType or Microsoft Word documents. TeX editing can be mixed with point-and-click editing so you get the best of both worlds. You can even paste in equations from existing TeX documents.
  • Copy-and-Paste: If you created your equation in another application or found one on a website, why take the time to create it by hand again? Simply Copy-and-Paste it directly into MathType, and it is ready to edit or use in your work.
  • Save Expressions in the Toolbar: Drag frequently used equations and expressions to the MathType toolbar so they can be inserted later with just a click or a keystroke.
  • Supports Microsoft Office:(See Product Use tab for more details)
    • Microsoft Office 2013, 2010, & 2007 — MathType Ribbon Tab in Word and PowerPoint: MathType takes full advantage of Office's Ribbon User Interface making it easier than ever to do equation operations in documents and presentations. New equation numbering and browse features work with all Word equation types.
    • Microsoft Office 2003 and XP (2002) — MathType Toolbar and Menu in Word and PowerPoint: MathType adds a toolbar and menu to Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, allowing quick access to its features and powerful commands to do equation numbering, produce great-looking math web pages, presentations, and much more.
  • Find Symbols: MathType's Insert Symbol dialog allows you to explore the available symbols and insert them with a click or keystroke.
  • Search for characters based on words in their Unicode description: MathType contains a database of character descriptions and knowledge of what characters are contained in most math fonts. For example, search for "less" to see the many variations of the < symbol.

    • More Control

    • Color: Use color to highlight part of an equation and focus your audience's attention on just the portions you want. Show what changed in each step of a multi-step procedure and make those equations really come to life. Great for slide presentations and teaching. Coloring an equation can make it stand out in a slide show. Use color to highlight part of an equation to focus your students' attention on it. Show the part that changed in each step of a multi-step procedure.
    • More Fonts: MathType has hundreds more symbols and templates than Equation Editor. Besides our exclusive Euclid™ math fonts, you can also make use of the 1000s of math symbols in fonts already on your computer, as well as other math fonts you can download from the Internet.

    Works with MathML and LaTeX

    • Work in standard math notation: LaTeX and MathML are computer languages for representing mathematical notation.
      • LaTeX is used by many mathematicians but has a steep learning curve and its abundance of braces and keywords make typing it extremely tedious and error-prone. Most people find it much easier to work directly with standard math notation in MathType.
      • MathML was created in 1998 by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and defines math in HTML5, EPUB3, DAISY, DITA, NLM/JATS, and many other publishing standards. It is not intended to be typed by humans but created and edited with tools like MathType.
    • Copy as MathML or LaTeX: Complex mathematical equations can be entered easily in MathType and then copied to the clipboard as LaTeX or MathML to be pasted into applications and websites that use those languages.
    • Paste MathML or LaTeX into MathType: Many websites contain equations expressed in LaTeX or MathML and can be pasted directly into MathType for use in your own work or to convert them to a different format (eg, LaTeX to MathML).

    MathType with Microsoft Word



    MathType Ribbon Tab in Word 2013, 2010 and 2007:
    • Insert Equation: The MathType tab on Word's Ribbon makes it easy to insert equations, with or without equation numbers. No need to use the clunky Insert Object dialog.
    • MathType Commands: The MathType tab also gives quick access to commands to renumber equations on the fly, insert equation references, and to convert a Word document to a web page, all while working in Word.


    Change the font and style of all equations in a document:
    • Format Equations: MathType adds its own menu in Word that contains useful commands. One of these, Format Equations, lets you change the font and style of all equations in a document.


    Generate good-looking, accessible math web pages:
    • MathPage: MathType includes our MathPage™ technology that easily converts Microsoft Word documents into web pages, properly handling mathematical symbols as well as MathType and Equation Editor equations. There are several publishing options, including MathJax, the open source display engine.
    • MathML or GIF: MathPage can generate equations as either GIF images or MathML. MathML will allow you to copy and paste math into many applications that understand MathML.
    • Exact Speech command: Overrides the automatically generated speech used by MathPlayer's math-to-speech or braille conversion for a selected expression or symbol. This is important in a number of situations, such as in an assessment situation where the normal speech text from screen readers or other accessible technology (AT) might give away the answer.
    • Math accessibility: MathML is the key to math accessibility, allowing equations in web pages to be spoken by screen readers that are used by the blind and others.

    Edit equations inline or in a separate window:

    • Two editing modes: MathType allows you to edit equations inline like Equation Editor or, if you prefer, in a separate window.
    • Multiple zoom levels: It can be hard to read small subscripts, superscripts and accents (primes and hats) while editing an equation inline in a Word document viewed at normal zoom levels. MathType allows you edit equations at 400%, for example, while working with your document at a normal zoom level.

    Typing equations from the keyboard:

    • Create and edit equations using only the keyboard and without leaving Word: MathType adds keyboard shortcuts to Word that allow you to insert a new equation, or edit an existing one, using just a keystroke.
    • Type equations in TeX directly into Word: You can type TeX directly into Word. When you are done, type Alt+\ (Toggle TeX) to convert it to a MathType equation. Later, if you want to edit the equation's TeX code, just type Alt+\ again. The Toggle TeX command allows you to switch between TeX and MathType views of the equation.

    Browse all equations and equation numbers in a document:

    • Extends Word's Browse Feature: Use MathType's equation browser to review all equations in your document or check all equation numbers and references for consistency. Buttons allow you to move forward or backward in the document one equation or number at a time.

    Export all equations in a document to TeX/LaTeX, MathML, EPS, or GIF:

    • Export Equations: Automatically export all equations in a document as image files in these formats: EPS, GIF, or WMF.
    • QuarkXPress, InDesign, FrontPage, Dreamweaver: If you are working with page layout or HTML-authoring software, this command will save you time by not having to open and save each equation individually.
    • Convert Equations: Convert all equations in a document to TeX, LaTeX or MathML in preparation for a custom export process.

    MathType with Microsoft PowerPoint



    • MathType Ribbon Tab in PowerPoint 2013, 2010 and 2007: The MathType tab on PowerPoint's Ribbon makes it easy to insert equations. No need to use the clunky Insert Object dialog.
    • Browse all equations in a presentation: The browse feature lets you move forward and back one equation at a time, making it easy to review all equations within a presentation.
