MathType automatically applies spacing as you type according the rules of mathematical typesetting. This involves 6 different space widths, none of which is the width of a normal space. Since people are so used to hitting the spacebar while typing, we disable it when math is being entered. However, MathType also has a Text mode which allows you to type in a plain English phrase or sentence in the middle of an equation. And, of course, the spacebar works in Text mode.

Yes, MathType for Macintosh and Windows are fully compatible and Microsoft Word documents containing MathType equations can be easily shared between them.

MathType works with virtually all popular word processors, presentation programs, page layout programs, graphing products and many others — basically any application that supports Insert Object, cut/copy/paste, drag-and-drop, insertion of image files or translations to/from MathML, TeX or LaTeX.

Select 'About MathType' from the MathType Help menu. Your product key is also in your MathType package, and on your receipt if you ordered from our online store. Failing that, contact our office so we can do a database search.
