Microsoft Equation

I'm sorry I just this afternoon saw this thread, and despite the fact that it's several months old, there are so many inaccuracies here that as a Design Science insider I felt compelled to respond. (Before I go on, I realize the term Equation Editor is potentially confusing here, since there are 2 of them. In my response below, I will use that term only to refer to our equation editor -- the one that has been packaged with Microsoft Office since Office 2.0. This is the one that has a similar appearance to, and looks somewhat like a cut-down version of, MathType. The 'new equation editor' that Microsoft introduced with Word 2007 on Windows, and is now integrated into Word 2011 and 2016, is correctly called the 'OMML editor', so that's the term I'll use below. The OMML editor is a Microsoft creation, not a Design Science one.)

So, in no particular implied order of importance, here goes...

  • Sep 08, 2015  How to enable equation tools in the Microsoft Word 2007, 2010, or 2013 and you’ll be able to make math equations within Word documents. Windows 8, 7, & Vista 1. Open “Control Panel“.
  • Jan 16, 2018  Micro patch rejuvenates abandoned Office add-on. This is mainly of concern to those dealing with equations in files created prior to Office 2007, which includes a separate equation writing component not implicated by the security issue. Microsoft retained Equation Editor 3.0 in later versions of Office to maintain backward compatibility.
  1. It's completely incorrect that the Equation Editor license ran out, expired, was canceled, or anything of the sort. I know at least 2 people in this thread, and would vouch for their credibility. I'm sure everyone else here just wants the truth as well, so I don't think it's important where the 'expired license' rumor began, but I just want you to know it's not true. This is not why Equation Editor (aka Microsoft Equation 3.0) is missing from Office 2016 for Mac.
  2. It is correct that the OMML editor cannot edit Equation Editor equations. Nor can it edit MathType equations.
  3. It's correct that the latest version of MathType for Mac (version 6.7h) cannot integrate into Office 2016 for Mac.
  4. It's not correct that it's possible to use MathType 6.7h with Word 2016 by going to the Insert Object dialog. The only objects listed on that dialog are Word and Excel objects. MathType is not listed there, and cannot be added to the dialog. (Nor is Equation Editor in that list.)
  5. One of John Korchok's replies is so good that I'll just repeat it here, to emphasize why MathType does not [yet] work with Word 2016, and why it's taking so long to get it there: 'Office 2016 for Mac is unique in that it follows Apple's new protocols for sandboxing applications. From what I gather, this is making it difficult to implement Add-Ins, MathType among them. I know that 2016's VBA capabilities are severely compromised, and many Add-Ins depend on VBA.' We're working on it! In fact, we want MathType to integrate into Office 2016 just as much as you want to be able to use it there. We're just not there yet. We're working with Microsoft to make it happen.
  6. Yes, it's possible to provide a stand-alone version of Equation Editor, and if you have or had Office 2011 installed, you probably still have one. It won't work with Office 2016 though -- not if you want an equation you can edit, that is. Whatever you create in Equation Editor and paste into Word 2016 will paste as an image. If you need to edit it, you'll need to replace it with a completely different one. Also, it will not be nicely-aligned vertically with the text of your document.
  7. As John K also said, 'However, if you're in love with Equation Editor 3, you can buy MathType. It has all of the features of EE3, plus more.' That's very true, but like I've already said, it doesn't yet work with Office 2016. (There are some things that will work, and the list is somewhat long, so if you'll write us at support at dessci.com, we'll be glad to let you know what works and what doesn't. We can also add you to our list of customers who will get first notification when a compatible version of MathType is ready.)
  8. michaeljcarroll's reply, just a few replies above mine, is good. Read it.

To use the Equation Editor in an Office application. Open the desired Office application. Click Insert, and then Object. In the list of Object types, choose Microsoft Equation (this will open the Equation Editor). In the Equation Editor window, form your equation; when finished, click the red X. Microsoft Office has many frequently used equations built in, so that users are able to insert them quickly, and need not to use equation editor any more. The present problem is that where to find out the equations in Microsoft Word 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 and 365.

Apr 16, 2018  Click the arrow next to Equation Editor. Click Run all from My Computer. Click Update Now. To Install Equation Editor in Microsoft Office XP, follow these steps: Quit all Office programs. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Note In Microsoft Windows XP, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Open Add/Remove Programs. Microsoft Equation Editor 3.0 free download lets you save your mathematical equations in different sizes, colors, and styles. You can also modify the background to fit what you want. You can undo and redo your equations at your convenience. Microsoft Equation Editor does not affect the speed of your system in any way.

Hope that's been helpful.
