Download [REPACK] Mathtype Microsoft Word 2010
Tylor Martinez
Mathtype can never be displayed in Office 2013 or over again in any of my three family computers, but it has worked quite well in the past decades.
In the past, mathtype was displayed in this way and I can input any mathmatical formula I wanted
They also assume because you can pick symbols and structures using the mouse to buuld an equation that you have to. MathType defines keyboard shortcuts for virtually everything and let's you redefine them according to your own scheme. They are much shorter than TeX's keywords so fewer keystrokes are required. Finally, if the user happens to know TeX for an expression, they can enter TeX language for most things.
I have a partly written physics text book comprising a collection of very large Word documents with hundreds of graphics and hundreds of MathType equations. Having been converted to TeX/LaTeX I just can't go back to working in Word, in fact my study/work laptop is a microsoft free experiment which is also in the process of becoming Adobe free, which is a trickier prospect. I really need to find a conversion solution for those documents.
I suppose I should point out that Mac solutions would be preferable but I do have ready access to a Windows machine. Keeping in mind that I have researched this fairly extensively on this site so far, does anyone know of any up to date solutions? I believe in theory it must be possible to at least convert a word document with styles, graphics and MathType equations into a reasonable .tex file that then might still need significant refinement but not massive, fundamental rewriting.
My text is already 260 A4 pages. With what I've learned as a LaTex user about rules of typesetting associated with research into readability and so on, even with a perfect translation they would have to be reorganised into about 400 pages. This is because there is far too much on each page; far too many words per line, too many complications in the layout of equations and diagrams.
So the problem remains how to batch extract MathType equations from a word document. I can do them one at a time with MathType. The bizarre thing is why Design Science appears to have done such a bad job on the LaTeX export. Their MathML export seems pretty good so if I find a working converter for MathML to LaTeX, the one at a time thing wouldn't be too bad.
docx2tex: This is remarkable in some ways and sorely lacking in others. I was not a low end user of word, I used styles to structure my documents in a consistent manner. It gets all the text out and separates headings but with zero formatting. It gets all the graphics out, but I had to do a batch convert to pdf using GraphicConverter before I could use them. All my MathType equations were converted to graphics. Various other problems that I won't go into yet.
word2tex: A suggestion from Harish Kumar. I downloaded the 30 day trial and I have to say, in comparison to what I've looked at so far, this is stunning. If anyone wants to try it, go to Chikrii Softlab. Download the 30 day trial. It only does 1 table, 1 image and 7 equations but does all headings and body text. Put together a tex file from a sub set of what you want to translate that maximises this to put it to the test. It will count a complex equation with several lines in it as 1 equation.
MathType is a interactive equation editor for creating mathematical expressions. It is available on the Windows and Macintosh platform and works with most word processing, presentation and publishing applications.
MathType is an interactive equation software from developer Design Science (Dessci) that lets you create and annotate math notation for word processing, desktop publishing, presentations, eLearning, and more. The editor is also used for creating TeX, LaTeX, and MathML documents.
Traditional word processors are limited when it comes to working with complex mathematical equations or scientific expressions. MathType is a complementary desktop program that allows users to create formulas, edit them, and insert them into a variety of documents. With this software students, educators, and professionals can build authentic formulas for research papers and rigorous review.
MathType Setup will automatically install support for each version of Word that it detects on your computer. To activate the software from Word, users will have to authorize the application to access Office. If the desktop software is installed and activated, MathType tab will appear at the top in word. The tab will have various commands and sections.

I recently purchased M1 chip(Catalina/BigSur).I also found that I could not edit my old MS word documents. Then I discovered that MathType was working on docx files but would not work on doc files. In docx files you could delete the old equation and write a new one in its place but you still wouldn't be able to edit those equations. So whenever I need to make changes tonally old document I have to change the document to docx. Hope this works for you too.
Our agency has recently moved from MS Word 2003 to MS Word 2007. A few of our publications, produced in MS Word and published as PDFs created with Acrobat Professional 9.0, include equations that are complex enough to require the Equation Editor. Generally, the documents that include equations include *a lot* of equations.
In MS Word 2003, we were able to attach alt text to each of these equations so people who use screen readers could understand the content.
But in MS Word 2007, we find no way to attach alt text to an equation -- as well as absolutely no documentation as to whether we need to do anything to make these equations accessible!
It occurs to me that it's possible that the version of the Equation Editor in MS Word 2007 might produce equations that screen readers can read directly. (Perhaps MathML is embedded?) In other words, perhaps we don't have to do anything to make these equations accessible.
Does anyone know if that's the case? And, if not, how *do* we create accessible equations in MS Word 2007?
Oh, and if possible, let's not have a debate about what an accessible equation is -- at least, not in this thread. ;-)
Thanks!
