Mathtype For Powerpoint

MathType, however, has this capability, and these colored equations can be inserted into any app you may use MathType with (not just PowerPoint). For more information about MathType, including a free 30 day evaluation, see our website (linked in my signature).- Bob Mathews Director of Training Design Science, Inc. Bobm at dessci.com. Bob: This is a really powerful feature for someone who prefers to use TeX but needs to use PowerPoint to prepare a presentation, or needs to use Word to collaborate with colleagues. Simply type the TeX or LaTeX markup into the MathType window, press Enter, and MathType converts the markup into a typeset equation. MathType also installs toolbars in Powerpoint, allowing users to design interesting presentations. Use this toolbar to color all parts of the equation. MathType supports CMYK, RGB and spot colors (for software layout). MathType compatibility and support works with a variety of word processors. MathType 6 is the newest version of a well known program that allows you to create math equations and more within Word, PowerPoint and several other applications. MathType itself is available in both Windows and Macintosh platforms, but MathType 6 is available only for Windows at the time of this writing. MathType is an online equation editor that provides perfect quality math formulas. No matter which environment you are using it in, your documents will always look professional and of a high quality.

Applies to:

MathType 6 and later for Windows

Microsoft Office 2007 and later for Windows

Situation:

You've added several commonly-used commands to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) in Word and PowerPoint. You'd like to add a few of the MathType commands as well.

Background:

The QAT was introduced as part of the Microsoft Office Ribbon user interface with the release of Office 2007, and continues in the most recent versions of Office. Its default location is the upper left corner of the Word window, but you can optionally change its position to beneath the ribbon.

Adding MathType commands to the QAT:

There are two ways to do this. Either will work. Here's the first method, and the easier of the two:

Right-click commands in the MathType tab

All it takes for this method is to find the command you want to add to the QAT, right-click it, and choose Add to Quick Access Toolbar:

Hey, we said it was easy! Still, there is one more option here -- you can add an entire group, rather than a single command. Let's say you use the commands Export Equations, Publish to MathPage, and Toggle TeX so often, you want the whole group on the QAT rather than the 3 individual commands. You can do this if you point to an area within the group that doesn't result in an individual command being selected. Note in the example above, the Convert Equations command is selected, but in the example below, no command is selected. This gives you a different option. Rather than 'Add to Quick Access Toolbar', now you see Add Group to Quick Access Toolbar.

This will add a single icon to the QAT, and clicking the icon will expand to show all commands within the group:

Download Geometry Dash. Challenges that involve geometry problems and shapes.

Choose Customize Quick Access Toolbar

If you prefer, you can right-click anywhere on any part of the ribbon, and choose the command Customize Quick Access Toolbar. Doing so will bring up 'Word Options', already opened to the 'Quick Access Toolbar' settings. In the list labeled 'Choose commands from', choose MathType Tab (click screen shot for a full-sized view):

Notice the first 3 commands beneath <Separator>. Not very descriptive, are they? <<No label>>. What is that? These are labeled in the full-sized view of the screen shot, but the point here is that seeing a command in this list can be confusing at times. For this method, choose the command on the left and click the Add button to move it to the right, which is the list of commands on the QAT. If you want to group the commands on the QAT into groups of closely-related commands, you can use the <Separator> to insert a vertical line between groups. Doing so will insert the separator beneath the currently-selected command.

Finished!

Expert tip..

It's always important to plan for the unexpected. So what happens if you open Word tomorrow and all your nice QAT customizations are simply gone? You panic, right? Then you throw the computer through the window. No, of course not. You take a deep breath, then restore your QAT from the backup file you made.

Making a backup of your QAT

To make a backup of the QAT is as simple as making a copy of the file containing the QAT. Word 2007 saves the information to a file named Word.QAT. Word 2010 and later save the information, along with other customizations to the ribbon, in a file named Word.OfficeUI. Regardless of the version of Word, you may find the file at this location, depending on your version of Windows (please see note below the bullets):

Windows XP:
C:Documents and Settings[username]Local SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftOffice
Windows 7 and later:
C:Users[username]AppDataLocalMicrosoftOffice

Note: These locations are hidden by default. In later versions of Windows you can reveal hidden files by clicking the View tab in File Explorer and placing a checkmark beside 'Hidden items'. Earlier versions of Windows have a similar setting.

Make a copy of the file and save it wherever you will remember it. A convenient technique is to simply make a copy of it and place it in the same directory as the original, but rename it ..bak or something other than the original -- Word.OfficeUI.bak, for example.
