      How to embed MathType in word?

First, install the office and MathType software, and find where the installation files are. If it is already installed, just find the installation address.

Find the office support folder under the MathType installation address, then select the corresponding 32-bit or 64-bit folder and find the file "MathType Commands 6 For Word 2010/2013". As for choosing 2010 or 2013, it depends on the installed office version.

Find the installation address of office, then find the STARTUP folder as shown, and copy the files mentioned in step 2 to this folder. Then when you open word, you can see that MathType has been embedded in the toolbar.

Comparison between MathType and LaTeX

MathType is mainly attached to office, mainly because it is more convenient to edit formulas in word; LaTex has the function of word, and can edit text and formulas, and the edited interface is more beautiful. In general, MathType is a mathematical equation editor, while LaTex is a text editor.

MathType What you see is what you get, this is the advantage. Of course, like all other WYSIWYG software, it is precisely because of this advantage that many man-made formulas are not standardized.

It doesn’t matter for LaTeX syntax, just input it sequentially, but for MathType, due to the effect of template-placeholder and nesting, you need to always pay attention. For example, in the above example, sin(x) dx is in the box of the integral template, but the equal sign is not. On the one hand, you must be familiar with those shortcut keys. On the other hand, it is recommended to turn on the `Show Nesting` switch to easily see the nesting relationship. However, the LaTeX mathematical commands in LaTeX, which are designed to reduce words for ease of memory, are equivalent to a burden for Chinese users.

FAQ

1. Insert special symbols (such as thousandth sign)

Problem description: There is no ready-made thousands sign template in the MathType toolbar, and users do not know how to insert it.

Solution:

After entering the corresponding numbers in MathType, select the "Edit" - "Insert Symbol" command.

In the pop-up "Insert Symbol" dialog box, set "View" to "Style" or "Description", find the thousand sign and click "Insert".

Be careful to avoid using non-standard symbol input methods, such as direct input from oblique fraction templates.

2. Edit complex formulas (such as partial derivatives, matrices, etc.)

Problem description: Users do not know how to edit complex mathematical formulas, such as partial derivatives, matrices, etc.

Solution:

Build formulas using the templates and symbol libraries provided by MathType.

For partial derivatives, you can use fractional templates and partial derivative symbolic templates.

For matrices, you can use matrix templates to add rows and columns, and adjust the appearance by styling the matrix.

3. Alignment and formatting issues between formulas and Word documents

Problem description: After inserting a MathType formula into Word, the formula is poorly aligned with the document content or the format is inconsistent.

Solution:

Adjust paragraph settings in Word documents, such as line spacing, indentation, etc., to ensure formulas are aligned with text.

Set the font, size and other properties of the formula in MathType to match the format of the Word document.

Use MathType's "Format Formula" function to uniformly adjust formula formats.

4. Automatic numbering and referencing of formulas

Problem description: The user wants to automatically number formulas and be able to reference these numbers in documents.

Solution:

In Word, use MathType's "Insert Equation Numbering" feature to add numbers to formulas.

Reference formula numbers in documents through MathType's "Insert Formula Reference" feature.

The style and position of numbering can be set in MathType to meet different typesetting needs.
