Math Editor This software can be the right solution for you as this powerful freeware can help you to create mathematical equations with Greek symbols, alpha, beta, square root and other symbols in a matter of minutes and smoothly.

I just excitedly downloaded OneNote onto my MacBook Pro from the App store. Thought this could be an excellent new tool to take digital notes for my classes. Went to try to write an equation (from the 'Insert' menu), and it just opened what looks like a regular text box. The only difference is whatever I type in there is italicized, but otherwise it's a regular text box. The usual Word or PowerPoint equation editor keyboard shortcuts don't do anything, there's no equation editor menu / box that pops up anywhere. In short, I can't actually write an equation. Am I missing something, or is this feature just simply not supported for Mac yet? It would seem strange, since Word and PowerPoint for Mac have had working equation editors for years...

Edit I found this page, which seems to be quite helpful. It looks like you can still do equations, but you have to do text-entry formatted to their sort of pseudo-latex style. I think I can work with this. I'd still like a full blown equation editor menu/box if possible, if it's hidden somewhere that I'm not seeing?

Hi,

I have received an old 'doc' (word 97-2004) from a colleague. This document contains a lot of mathematical formulas, which are rendered as images when I open the document in word 2016.

Mathtype

I guess the equations used to be editable in the original editor (some old version of word). Therefore somewhere in the document there should be some kind of 'raw' representation of the equations (latex-like, e.g.) that can be converted in the new format without resorting to third party software (someone suggested MathType).

If this is not the case, word is not compatible with its older versions, which is frankly unacceptable. There should be some way of recovering all the information in an old doc file. I can accept slight formatting issues, but turning entire editable equations in (very, very ugly) images is really bad.

It means that microsoft word is unreliable, because when a new version is released one risks loosing a lot of work.

Microsoft Equation Editor For Mac

Does anybody know an efficient way of making the equations editable?

Thanks a lot
