MathType 5 is a stand-alone equation editing package written by Design Science, makers of the Microsoft Equation 3.0 editor. When MathType 5 is installed on your system, equations written with the Microsoft equation editor will be saved as MathType 5 equations rather than Equation 3.0 equations. Even merely editing equations from a document with Equation 3.0 equations on a machine with MathType 5 will cause those equations to be saved in MathType 5 format. This is problematic, since the Word importer cannot properly convert MathType 5 equations to Presentation MathML.
We recommend un-installing MathType 5 from your system if it is currently installed. This will cause Word to revert to using Equation 3.0 for equation editing, which will allow the Word importer to properly generate mathematics.
Should you inadvertently include a MathType 5 equation in your Word document, in the Edit-in-Place interface where the mathematics should appear you will instead see the warning message shown in Figure 5 .
You can go replace each of these warning messages by hand using the following procedure. To begin, double click on the MathType equation in Word to open the MathType editor.
If this is your first time to use this procedure, you must configure MathType to properly generate MathML. Go to the
Preferences
menu and select the
Translators
option. In the window that appears, make sure that “Translation to other language (text)” is selected, and in the drop-down box next to “Translator:”, select the “MathML 2.0 (m namespace)” option. Also, make sure that “Include translator name in translation” and “Include MathType data in translation” are NOT selected (see
Figure 6 below). Click
OK
to complete the configuration. This sets the translation preferences permanently, so you will not have to repeat these steps again.
Once the Translators preferences are set, you can copy the MathType equation’s MathML equivalent by highlighting the equation in the MathType editor and copying to the clipboard (
Edit
menu,
Copy
option). This stores a copy of the MathML on your system’s clipboard.
Return to your browser and find the appropriate placeholder for the equation in the Edit-in-Place interface (appearing as in Figure 5 ). Double click to edit the paragraph and delete the text “***SORRY, THIS MEDIA TYPE IS NOT SUPPORTED***” (Figure Figure 7 below). Paste the contents of the clipboard into is place (Figure Figure 8 ), and click Save. Your equation should now appear in the Edit-in-Place interface (Figure Figure 9 ).
It is important that you follow the instructions on this page for each object. Do not use other objects or text, including:
