However, better results will be obtained using a tablet or a touchscreen. ● Insert handwritten math into any MathType window, or directly into Microsoft Word or PowerPoint: MathType contains a menu command to bring the Math Input Panel to the front, ready to you to enter math by hand. These commands are available in any MathType window, as well as in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. ● Build larger equations by combining handwritten sub- expressions in MathType: While it is easy to handwrite short mathematical expression, longer ones are much harder. MathType lets you have the best of both worlds by allowing you to use its point-and-click editing window to combine multiple hand-written expressions. MathType works with many applications and websites ● Math Everywhere and Anywhere: Up until now, MathType MathType now works with has been thought of mostly as a tool that works with Microsoft over 350 applications and Word and PowerPoint. But it has always been much more than websites. that. MathType currently works with over 350 of the most popular applications and websites used by education, web authoring, engineering, and computational systems. Wikipedia, the popular online encyclopedia, ● MathType Application and Website Compatibility contains 1000s of pages Database (see Works With ...): We have built an online with mathematical database of over 500 applications and websites, over 350 of equations you can copy to which MathType already works with.. MathType includes help use in your own work: pages for many describing the best way to work with them. If your favorite application or website is not in the list, MathType probably still works with it using one of the general techniques and mechanisms listed below. ● Insert Object (OLE): Many applications have an Insert Object command that allows MathType equations to be inserted into their documents just as in Microsoft Word and other Office apps. This is also called OLE (Object Linking and Embedding). ● Cut, copy, and paste: Any application that lets you paste an image from the clipboard will work with MathType, allowing you to insert equations into literally thousands of document types. ● Drag and drop: Just like cut and paste, drag and drop can be used to put equations in many kinds of documents. ● Equation image files: MathType can save equations as image files in these formats: EPS, GIF, or WMF. Many applications allow you to import these into their documents. ● MathML, TeX, LaTeX import and export: Now you can import and export mathematics defined using MathML or TeX to/from the many applications that work with those formats. MathML code can be either in the new MathML Clipboard Format that is supported by a growing number of mathematical and scientific applications or plain text such as from an XML editor, for example. MathML or TeX can be imported via cut and paste or drag and drop. ● Translators for TeX, MathML, Maple, Mathematica, Physics Forum and more: MathType has many built-in translators that adapt it to work with various languages, products, and websites. We are continuing to develop new translators and, using our MathType SDK, you can customize http://www.dessci.com/en/products/MathType/features.htm (3 of 10) [6/22/2010 3:37:30 PM] Design Science: MathType - Equation Editor them or create your own. MathType with Microsoft Word MathType Ribbon Tab in Word 2007: ● Insert Equation: The MathType tab on Word 2007'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. MathType menu and toolbar in Word 2003, XP (2002), and 2000: ● Insert Equation: MathType installs a toolbar into Word, giving you the ability to insert mathematical notation inline or centered, with or without equation numbers, with just a click. No need to use the clunky Insert Object dialog. ● MathType toolbar and menu: The toolbar also gives quick access to commands to renumber equations on the fly, insert equation references, 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. ● 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. ● 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. http://www.dessci.com/en/products/MathType/features.htm (4 of 10) [6/22/2010 3:37:30 PM] Design Science: MathType - Equation Editor 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. MathType allows you to zoom an equation to 400%, for example, while editing the words at a normal zoom level. Typing equations from the keyboard using TeX: ● 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. Equation numbering: ● Insert Equation Numbers: Insert chapter, section and equation numbers on either the right or left-hand side of your equations. If you later insert new equations into the middle of your document, the entire document is automatically renumbered.
