Windows 7 compatibility: MathType 6.7 works on Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit versions), Vista, and XP operating systems.
- Equations Everywhere and Anywhere?:Up until now, MathType has been thought of mostly as a tool that works with Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. But it has always been much more than that. You can label graphs with equations, create equation images for websites, blogs, wikis, export equations to TeX or MathML, and much more. See Works With … to see our MathType Interoperability Registry which lists the many, many applications and websites MathType works with.
- Enter equations in TeX/LaTeX directly in Word: If you know the TeX typesetting language, you can type it directly into your Word document. When you are done, you can use the TeX Toggle keyboard shortcut to toggle between TeX and MathType views of the equation.
- New keyboard shortcuts in Word to open equations for editing: Many of our customers like to use the keyboard. Now you can open an equation next to the insertion point using a keyboard shortcut. Together with our new TeX Toggle feature, you can now enter and edit equations completely from the keyboard without leaving Word.
- New translators for Maple, Mathematica, Physics Forum and more: As part of our “Equations Everywhere and Anywhere” effort, we have added new translators for many applications and websites. See Works With … to see our MathType Interoperability Registry which lists the many, many applications and websites MathType works with.
- MathML Import: Now you can import mathematics defined using MathML from the many applications that produce it. MathML code can be either in the new MathML Clipboard Format that is supported by a growing number of mathematical and scientific applications or plain text such as from an XML editor, for example. The MathML can be imported via cut and paste or drag and drop.
- Microsoft Office 2007 Support: MathType takes full advantage of Office 2007’s new Ribbon User Interface by adding a new MathType Tab in Word and PowerPoint. This makes it easier than ever to do equation operations in documents and presentations. New equation numbering and browse features work with all Word 2007 equation types. MathType 6 also supports Office 2003, XP (2002), and 2000.
- Define Equations using TeX/LaTeX: If you already know the TeX typesetting language, you can enter equations quickly using

and Author Equations from Wikipedia:
Wikipedia, the popular
online encyclopedia, contains 1000s of pages with mathematical
equations. Once you do your research on Wikipedia, you can copy
relevant equations for use in your own work. You can also copy
MathType equations into Wikipedia’s page editor in order to
create new pages or edit existing ones.
Windows Vista Support: MathType 6 now works on Windows
Vista, XP, and 2000 operating systems.
- Equation Browsing: The new
equation browsing feature allows you to visit every equation
and/or equation number and reference in your Word document or
PowerPoint presentation.
- MathML Clipboard Support:
MathType can now copy equations to the Windows clipboard using
the new MathML Clipboard Format that is supported by a growing
number of mathematical and scientific applications.
- New, Improved Online Help: We
