Equations Everywhere and Anywhere!™

MathType works with a huge number of applications and web sites. For the most part, if you can imagine putting equations in an application's documents, there is likely to be a way to do it.

MathType supports almost all major standards for embedding equations in documents. Check the MathType Interoperability Registry for more information about using MathType with your favorite applications. If you don't find your application in the Registry, consult the General Techniques section below, you will find more information on how to get the best results using MathType with applications supporting common math exchange technologies.

If you have trouble using MathType with a particular application or web site, or would like to suggest an application or web site you would like to see work better with MathType, please let us know by writing to interop@dessci.com.

MathType Mac Users

MathType Mac 6.0 supports the same standards for embedded equations in documents as MathType Windows 6.5, and also works with a large number of applications and web sites. However, technologies such as Insert Object are much less widely used on the Macintosh (primarily by Microsoft Office applications) and details for using MathType with a specific application can differ between Mac and Windows versions.

Over the next several months, we will be adding information to the Master Interoperability Registry specifically for MathType Mac users. We will also be making available downloads for MathType Mac that add support for working with specific applications that have been added in MathType Windows 6.5, but are not yet part of the MathType Mac 6.0 distribution. Check this page for updates, or subscribe to our Design Science News blog to receive updates as they are announced.

Couldn't Find your Application or Web Site?

If you have trouble using MathType with a particular application or web site, or would like to suggest an application or web site you would like to see work better with MathType, please let us know by writing to interop@dessci.com. We are constantly adding support for new applications and sites, and we welcome suggestions.

If you are technically inclined, you may be interested in developing your own interoperability solutions between MathType and your favorite applications. For information on how to get started, please consult the MathType Software Development Kit page.
