New features in MathType
Here are some of the major new features in MathType. To learn more about them, visit our Full Feature List.
- Works with 64-bit Microsoft Office 2010: If you're planning on switching to 64-bit Office, then you need MathType 6.8 for Windows.
- Compatibility with 600+ applications and websites! Posterous, Quora, and 40+ other applications and websites join Microsoft Office, Apple iWork,Mathematica, and hundreds of others that work with MathType! Check out Works With ... to see if your applications are compatible.
- Paste a table from a spreadsheet, document, or web page into MathType as a matrix: MathType lets you copy a table from a spreadsheet (e.g. Excel), document (e.g. Word), or web page, and paste it into MathType as a matrix.
- MathPage for Word 2010 and 2007: Our MathPage™ technology now converts Microsoft Word 2010 and 2007 documents into web pages, properly handling mathematical symbols. Will also display properly for people with print disabilities.
- Authoring for Accessibility: As part of our work with the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and others in the accessibility community, we have made a number of improvements in MathType so that it is more useful for authoring content to be read by people with various print disabilities, such as blindness, low vision, and learning disabilities. Our new Exact Speech command overrides the speech automatically generated by MathPlayer for a selected expression or symbol. This is important in a number of situations, such as in assessment where the automatically generated speech text might give away the answer.
MathType 6.8 equations are compatible with MathType 6.x and 5.x equations so you can continue to work with other MathType users even if they haven't upgraded yet. When you upgrade to MathType 6.8 any changes you've made in your installed version of MathType, including keyboard shortcuts, toolbars, preferences, etc. will be retained.
