MathType 6.5 for Windows :

New features - complete list of benefits and features - why upgrade ?


MathType 6.5 New Features:

Mathtype 6.5 is released for Windows in english. This new version designed to work with a wide variety of education and scientific applications and websites. It also includes translatros for Mathematica and Maple, MathML import, and enables users to type TeX/LaTeX equation directly into Microsoft Word. Here are some major new features in MathType 6.5. To learn more about these features.

Equations Everywhere and Anywhere™: Up until now, MathType has been thought of mostly as a tool that works with Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. But it has always been much more than that. You can label graphs with equations, create equation images for websites, blogs, wikis, export equations to TeX or MathML, and much more. See Works With ... to see our MathType Interoperability Registry which lists the many, many applications and websites MathType works with.

Enter equations in TeX/LaTeX directly in Word: If you know the TeX typesetting language, you can type it directly into your Word document. When you are done, the TeX code will be converted to a MathType equation. The TeX Toggle keyboard shortcut allows you to toggle between TeX and MathType views of the equation.

New keyboard shortcuts in Word to open equations for editing: Many of our customers like to use the keyboard. Now you can open an equation next to the insertion point using a keyboard shortcut. Together with our new TeX Toggle feature, you can now enter and edit equations completely from the keyboard without leaving Word.

New translators for Maple, Mathematica, Physics Forum and more: As part of our "Equations Everywhere and Anywhere" effort, we have added new translators for many applications and websites. See Works With ... to see our MathType Interoperability Registry which lists the many, many applications and websites MathType works with.

MathML Import: Now you can import mathematics defined using MathML from the many applications that produce it. 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. The MathML can be imported via cut and paste or drag and drop

MathType 6.5 equations are compatible with MathType 6.0 and 5.0 equations so you can continue to work with other MathType users even if they haven't upgraded yet. MathType 6.5 will also retain any changes you've made in your current version of MathType, including keyboard shortcuts, toolbars, preferences, etc.





MathType 6.5 for Windows :
Complete list of features and benefits


Here are just a few of MathType's many features:


More Symbols, Templates, and Fonts

More Fonts: MathType has hundreds more symbols and templates than Equation Editor. Beside 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 math fonts you can download from the Internet.

Find Symbols: MathType's Insert Symbol dialog allows you to explore the available symbols and insert them with a click or keystroke.




Works with Many Applications

While many MathType users create equations for Microsoft Word documents and PowerPoint presentations, MathType also works with many, many other applications and websites and we are adding more and more every day:

  • Add equations to Quark and InDesign documents.

  • Copy equations from websites like Wikipedia, PlanetMath, etc. for use in your own work. You can author new equations for those websites as well.

  • Copy equations from Mathematica or Maple into your research.

  • Use equations to label DeltaGraph scientific graphs and Excel spreadsheets.

  • Work with TeX and LaTeX editors and documents.

Go to Works With ... to see our MathType Interoperability Registry which lists 100s of compatible applications and websites. Most likely you will see several that you already use or plan to use. If your favorite one is not there, MathType may still work with it using cut and paste, drag and drop, Insert Object, or equation image files.




Three Ways to Create Equations

Point-and-Click Editing with Automatic Formatting: Equations can be created quickly by choosing templates from MathType's palettes and typing into their empty slots. MathType applies mathematical spacing rules automatically as you type.

Type TeX or LaTeX into MathType: You can also type TeX into MathType's editing window. TeX editing can be mixed with point-and-click editing so you get the best of both worlds. You can also paste in equations from existing TeX documents.

Type TeX or LaTeX directly into Microsoft Word: If you already know the TeX typesetting language, you can enter equations directly into Microsoft Word documents. Use the Toggle TeX command (Alt+\) to turn what you typed into a MathType equation. Use it again to edit the TeX language.




Saves Time

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.

Keyboard Shortcuts: MathType has customizable keyboard shortcuts for virtually every symbol, template, and command.




Easier to Use

Microsoft Office 2007 — MathType Ribbon Tab in Word and PowerPoint: MathType takes full advantage of Office 2007's new 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, XP (2002), and 2000 — 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.



Better Results

Color: Coloring an equation can make it stand out. Use color to highlight part of an equation and focus your students' attention on it. Show what changed in each step of a multi-step procedure.

Match PowerPoint Colors: Presentations often make use of color. MathType makes it easy to match equations to your presentation's color scheme.
