Subject: News release: New MathType 6 now available from Adept
Scientific
New MathType 6 now available from Adept Scientific
Major upgrade makes it easier to create better-looking equations in a
wider range of applications
MathType 6, the latest version of the professional equation editor
from Design Science (Long Beach, California), is now available from
technical software specialist Adept Scientific (Letchworth, Herts.).
Offering compatibility with the latest versions of Windows, Word and
PowerPoint, with Wikipedia and with TeX, LaTeX and MathML, this is a
major upgrade to the powerful interactive tool that lets you create
mathematical notation for word processor and desktop publishing
documents, web pages and presentations.
Creating and editing equations is quick and easy with MathType 6,
thanks to its point-and-click interface, templates and palettes,
customisable keyboard shortcuts and the ability to save frequently
used equations and expressions to the MathType toolbar so they can be
inserted later with just a click or a keystroke.
New features in MathType 6 include support for the latest versions of
Microsoft Windows and Office, and takes full advantage of Office
2007's new Ribbon interface by adding a new MathType tab in Word and
PowerPoint that makes it easier than ever to do equation operations in
documents and presentations.
Academics, authors and researchers familiar with TeX/LaTeX typesetting
languages will welcome MathType 6's TeX input mode, which makes it
simple to enter, define and edit equations in TeX, and copy equations
from existing TeX documents.
MathType also supports MathML, the worldwide standard markup language
for mathematics on the Web. New version 6 can copy equations from the
new MathML Clipboard Format that is supported by a growing number of
mathematical and scientific applications.
MathType 6 recognises the growing importance and popularity of the
online encyclopaedia Wikipedia, which now contains thousands of pages
with mathematical equations. MathType 6 equations can now be copied
into Wikipedia's page editor to create new pages or edit existing
ones; and equations can also be extracted from Wikipedia pages.
There's a new equation browsing feature that allows you to visit every
equation and/or equation number and reference in your Word document or
PowerPoint presentation, making it easy to review your work and locate
specific equations. There's also an expanded, comprehensive online
help system including tutorials that teach you how to use MathType
most efficiently.
MathType 5 users who upgrade to this new version will find that all
changes they've made to keyboard shortcuts, toolbars, preferences etc.
will be preserved; and MathType 6 equations are compatible with
MathType 5.
MathType is the professional version of the Equation Editor included
in Microsoft Office and other products. Compared to Equation Editor,
MathType has a huge range of extra features, fonts and symbols, plus
the ability to use colour to highlight parts of an equation, to let
you create a wider range of better-looking equations for a greater
range of documents.
MathType can be run as a stand-alone equation order, but it is most
commonly used as an add-in to Microsoft Office or Microsoft Word.
MathType 6 adds a MathType ribbon to Word and PowerPoint 2007, and a
MathType toolbar and menu to Word 2003, 2002 (XP) and 2000. It is
compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista, XP and 2000. A Macintosh
version of MathType 6 will be released shortly.
As well as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, MathType can be used to add
perfectly formatted equations to QuarkExpress, Adobe InDesign, Excel
spreadsheets and virtually all word processors, presentation programs,
page layout programs, HTML editors, graphing products and other
applications that support Insert Object, cut/copy/paste,
drag-and-drop, insertion of image files or translations to MathML, TeX
or LaTeX.
MathType 6 is available from Adept Scientific and may be easily
