MathType 5 New Features:

 

Virtually all MathType features are enhanced in each major release. Here are some major new features in MathType 5. To learn more about these features, visit our Full Feature List:

• Color: You can color all or part of an equation to match the color scheme of your PowerPoint presentation, or to draw your students' attention to a particular step in a derivation.
• Insert Equation in Word: MathType installs a toolbar into Microsoft 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 Word's clunky "Insert Object" dialog.
• MathType Commands in Word: The MathType toolbar in Microsoft Word also gives quick access to commands to renumber equations on the fly, insert equation references, or convert a Word document to a web page, all while working in Word.
• Macintosh OS X Native App: MathType 5 for Macintosh is the first version to be a native OS X application.
• Export Equations: Export all equations in a Word document as GIF or EPS image files for use with web page construction or desktop publishing applications such as Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress.
• Insert Symbol Dialog: Lets you explore the many math symbols present in fonts you already have on your computer, fonts you can purchase, or fonts you download for free. You can insert them into your equations with a click or, if you plan to use the symbol often, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to it or drag it to the toolbar.
• Save Word documents as math-savvy web pages: MathType's new MathPage™ feature allows you to save a web page where, unlike Word's built-in "Save as Web Page" command, the equations actually look good. Choose to make your equation a GIF image or MathML, the W3C's XML standard for math.
• Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts: Work faster by assigning keystroke combinations to your favorite symbols and templates.
• Unlimited Undo/Redo: Everyone makes mistakes. Fix them faster by undoing your equation edits you started, if necessary.
• MathML 2.0 Support: MathType's MathML translators have been updated to the latest MathML Specification from the W3C.
