MathType works with  Word 

MathType Help

MathType support for Word is extensive, therefore your primary source of information should be MathType Help. From the MathType Help menu, choose "Table of Contents", and then choose "MathType with Microsoft Office". We list its features below for reference only and to complete the MathType Interoperability Registry.

Using MathType with Word

MathType adds these capabilities to its integration with Word: (Refer to MathType Help for full instructions.)

• MathType includes a MathType tab on the Word 2007 Ribbon (Windows).
• MathType adds a menu & toolbar to Word 2000, 2002 (XP), and 2003 for Windows, as well as Word X and 2004 for Macintosh.
• Change the font and size of all equations in a document.
• Generate good-looking, accessible math web pages.
• Edit equations inline or in a separate window.
• Automatically-sequenced equation numbering & referencing.
• Browse all equations and equation numbers in a document.
• Export all equations in a document to TeX/LaTeX, MathML, EPS, GIF, WMF (Windows), or PICT (Mac)

These features are new in MathType 6.5 for Windows:

• Convert Word 2007 equations or equation pictures to MathType equations.

While MathType does work with Mac Office 2008, most of these MathType features are not available in this version of Office. For more details, please read So what's the story with MathType and Microsoft Office 2008?
