![]() ![]() We're maintaining a list of customers who have asked about it, and those on the list will be among the first to know when we have news to report. I'll be more specific than that and say I estimate it will be 8-12 more weeks. The company isn't projecting a release date other than "in coming months". One result of the merger is that you will soon see more frequent releases of MathType (monthly is our goal), but our highest priority right now is releasing a version of MathType for Office 2016 on the Mac. You may have read about our merger with Maths for More, the company behind the WIRIS equation editor ( ). I still have a Mac running Mojave so that I dont lose MathType. If, like me, you are professional scientist or engineer, the Microsoft version is not good enough. In other words, it is not a limited version of MathType. ![]() We do have some things to work on, but our progress so far has been encouraging - over the last couple of months anyway. The limited version of MathType to which I believe you refer is the OMML equation editor. It does integrate into Word 2016, with a MathType tab and commands on the tab similar to those on Word for Windows. We've been working together with Microsoft on this, and we have early betas now that we're using and testing within the company. We're hard at work on MathType 6.8 (which we think the version number will be) for Mac. Naturally updates are important for security reasons, so we don't recommend our customers stay with an early version of Office 2011 forever (I'm using 14.7.2, and it works fine). If you have defined equation preferences for new equations (using the Set Equation Preferences command), these settings will be used in the MathType window. In the meantime, I might try doing my word+mathtype work in Parallels.Īctually some versions of Office 2011 do work on High Sierra, but not if you continue to update to the latest version of Office 2011. Insert Inline Equation Ctrl + Alt + Q (Windows), Ctrl + Q (Mac) Opens a new MathType window ready for you to enter an equation. I can't edit or create them on my school-issued MacBook.I just received this note from Mathtype, much more reassuring than I was expecting. ![]() Yet, I have hundreds of worksheets, presentations and assessments that contain the old MathType equations that I have to use my Windows laptop to access. I don't see MathType on a Mac being a viable solution for years (if ever). Not compatible with earlier MathType formulas or equation editor formulas. It is missing functionality like expanding integral signs, mix of parentheses and brackets needed for interval notation, color, connectivity to WolframAlpha, no LaTeX on copy. no keyboard shortcuts, you can't type sqrt to get the radical sign, you can't double-click on the equation to edit it, but have to click on the MathType add in and then click on "Open MathType". It is awkward to use and is barely an improvement from the built-in equation editor e.g. The images are blurry on screen, especially in a PDF. The output is of noticeably poorer quality than the previous version of MathType since it creates images of formulas in the Word document. Click Run to start the installation immediately. ![]() WIRIS says that there will not be a new version of MathType for macOS Catalina/BigSur "for the foreseeable future." Their current solution of a Microsoft Word add-in doesn't meet my needs: To start the download, click the Download button and then do one of the following, or select another language from Change Language and then click Change. ![]()
