#SHORTCUT TO INSERT EQUATION IN WORD 2007 MAC#
Installing MathType 7 for Windows and Mac.
Any time you wish to insert an equation at the cursor simply click the button in the Quick Access Toolbar and Equation Editor will open ready for you to begin typing your equation.
If you wish to use the old Equation Editor frequently, you can place a button for it in the Quick Access Toolbar adjacent to the new round Office button. This is a shortcut to the old Equation 3.0 function which is the recommended method of creating and editing equations at this time. In the general access computing labs and classrooms, an equation icon has been added to the “Quick Access Toolbar” that appears in the upper left of the Word 2007 window.
This will give you the equation editing interface that is familiar from previous versions. Instead, choose Insert, Text, Object, Microsoft Equation 3.0. To do this, ignore the equation icon that appears in Word 2007’s ribbon bar under Insert, Symbols, Equation. The workaround is to continue to use Equation Editor 3.0, instead of the new equation function. To use the old Equation Editor 3.0 if you need easier access to advanced functions, per MTU: Microsoft Office 2007 has a new “ribbon” to replace conventional menus, and a new Equation Editor in Microsoft Word.
