Now much of what previously required handwriting can now be done on a computer. In the past, we could enter some simple mathematical formulas through Word, but now we can complete the writing of almost all mathematical formulas through the mathematical formula editor. For many simple mathematical formulas, we can use the input method to find the special symbols one by one and input them. However, for the more complex formula symbols in advanced mathematics, it is difficult to use the input method to complete them. Then, we need to use a formula editor. Here is the MathType I recommend.
It can run smoothly on both Windows and macOS systems. MathType can be adapted to more than 800 applications and websites, and is especially perfectly integrated with word and ppt in the Office suite. In addition to integrating well with office software, in terms of application, MathType can convert formulas into LaTex, eps, wmf, gif and other formats that are often used in scientific research scenarios.
After the MathType formula editor is installed, it will be loaded in the Word document. MathType in Word documents is relatively complex, and it is common for novices to encounter trouble. Today, I will give you a detailed explanation of common MathType editing formula problems in Word documents.
MathType is a powerful formula editor. MathType can fit well with Office, which means that when we use Office to edit mathematical formulas, we can directly use MathType to insert the formula. Not only Office, MathType can support formula editing in 800+ software or websites. In addition to these, MathType also supports handwriting input. MathType, as a powerful formula editor software, requires payment. MathType has win version and mac version.
Question 1: Insert formula into Word document
Open the Word document, move the cursor to the location where you want to insert the mathematical formula, click the MathType button in the menu bar, select the type of formula you want to insert, and then open the MathType software interface to edit the formula you want.
Question 2: Convert the formula into Latex code
1. Open the MathType mathematical formula editor, click "Presets" - Cut and copy preset commands.
2. Click "MathML or TeX", uncheck "Include MathType data in conversion", and click "OK"
3. Return to the MathType interface, select the formula, press "Ctrl + C", and then paste it into the tex file.
Question 3: Adjust the problem of uneven line spacing caused by inserting formulas
1. Adjust all documents: Click the "File" menu in Word, select Page Setup under it, open the Page Setup dialog box, select "Grid" under the document grid option, check "No Grid", and click "Sure".
2. Local adjustment: Select the line that needs to be adjusted, click the "Format" menu, select the spacing under the paragraph settings, adjust both "before paragraph" and "after paragraph" to "0 lines", and uncheck "If If the document grid is defined, align it to the grid" and click "OK".
Through the above steps, you can solve common MathType formula problems in Word documents.
How to enter formulas by hand in MathType?
For example, if we want to insert a formula in word, just start the handwriting pad.
Click MathType on the top menu bar of word, and click [Open Handwriting Input Panel] on the toolbar. After starting the panel, just write the formula directly. We can also use the tools in the tool panel on the right to modify the identified errors. Finally, click [Insert] to insert the formula into word.
install software
The installation of MathType is very simple. Double-click the software installation package to enter the installation wizard interface and start the installation. Please note during the installation process that in order to use the software in the Office suite, it is best to use the default path when selecting [Destination Folder] in step 5 in Figure 5 and click [OK].
