Why Upgrade?
Reason #1: To get the latest features, bug fixes, and compatibility changes
for new versions of Microsoft Office and other applications
While MathType is a mature product that has been around for over
20 years, we continually add new features to help you with your
work and to keep current with the applications and websites it
works with and your computer's system software. It is important
that you upgrade to the latest version in order to take advantage
of these enhancements.
Here are some of the major new features in MathType 6.8. To learn
more about them, visit our Full Feature List.
- Works with 64-bit Microsoft Office 2010: If you're planning on switching to 64-bit Office, then you need MathType 6.8 for Windows..
- Compatibility with 600+ applications and websites! Posterous, Quora, and 40+ other applications and websites join Microsoft Office, Apple iWork, Mathematica, and hundreds of others that work with MathType! Check out Works With ... to see if your applications are compatible.
- Paste a table from a spreadsheet, document, or web page into MathType as a matrix: MathType lets you copy a table from a spreadsheet (e.g. Excel), document (e.g. Word), or web page, and paste it into MathType as a matrix.
- MathPage for Word 2010 and 2007: Our MathPage™ technology now converts Microsoft Word 2010 and 2007 documents into web pages, properly handling mathematical symbols. Will also display properly for people with print disabilities.
- Authoring for Accessibility: As part of our work with the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and others in the accessibility community, we have made a number of improvements in MathType so that it is more useful for authoring content to be read by people with various print disabilities, such as blindness, low vision, and learning disabilities. Our new Exact Speech command overrides the speech automatically generated by MathPlayer for a selected expression or symbol. This is important in a number of situations, such as in assessment where the automatically generated speech text might give away the answer.
MathType 6.8 equations are compatible with MathType 6.x and 5.x equations so you can continue to work with other MathType users even if they haven't upgraded yet. When you upgrade to MathType 6.8 any changes you've made in your installed version of MathType, including keyboard shortcuts, toolbars, preferences, etc. will be retained.

MathType 6.5 New Features:
Here are some of the major new features in MathType 6.5. To learn
more about them, visit our Full Feature List.
- 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,
the TeX code will be converted to a MathType equation. The TeX
Toggle keyboard shortcut allows you 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.
MathType 6.5 equations are compatible with MathType 6.0 and 5.0
equations so you can continue to work with other MathType users
even if they haven't upgraded yet. MathType 6.5 will also retain
any changes you've made in your current version of MathType, including
keyboard shortcuts, toolbars, preferences, etc.
MathType 6 New Features:
Virtually all MathType features are enhanced in each major release.
Here are some major new features in MathType 6. To learn more about
these features, visit our Full Feature List.
- 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 MathType's TeX
input mode. TeX editing can be mixed with point-and-click editing
so you get the best of both worlds. You can also copy equations
from existing TeX documents.
- Copy and Author Equations from Wikipedia:
Wikipedia, the popular online encyclopedia, contains 1000's 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.

and help into a single comprehensive help system featuring full
text search and an extensive index. It contains tutorials that
teach you how to use MathType most efficiently as well as contextual
help for its commands and dialogs.
MathType 6 equations are compatible with MathType 5 equations
so you can continue to work with others even if they haven't upgraded
yet. MathType 6 will also retain any changes you've made in your
current version of MathType to keyboard shortcuts, toolbars, preferences,
etc.
MathType 5 New Features:
Just in case you haven't updated your copy of MathType in a while,
here are the new features we introduced in MathType 5:
- Color: You
can color all or part of an equation to match the color scheme
of your PowerPoint presentation, or to draw your student's attention
to a particular step in a derivation.
- Insert Equation in Word:
MathType installs a toolbar into Microsoft Word, giving you the
ability to insert mathematical notation inline or centered, with
or without equation numbers, with just a click. No need to use
Word's clunky "Insert Object" dialog.

in Word: The MathType toolbar in Microsoft Word also gives quick
access to commands to renumber equations on the fly, insert equation
references, or convert a Word document to a web page, all while
working in Word.

document as GIF or EPS image files for use with web page construction
or desktop publishing applications such as Adobe InDesign and
QuarkXPress.
- Insert Symbol Dialog: Lets you explore the many math
symbols present in fonts you already have on your computer, fonts
you can purchase, or fonts you download for free. You can insert
them into your equations with a click or, if you plan to use
the symbol often, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
- Save
Word documents as math-savvy web pages: MathType's new MathPage™ feature
allows you to save a web page where, unlike Word's built-in "Save
as Web Page" command, the equations actually look good.
Choose to make your equation a GIF image or MathML, the W3C's
XML standard for math.
- Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts: Work faster
by assigning keystroke combinations to your favorite symbols
and templates.
- Unlimited Undo/Redo: Everyone makes mistakes. Fix
them faster by undoing your equation edits you started, if necessary.
