Equation Editor in Pages ?

Hi !
I wanted to insert an equation in a Pages document (as we can do it in Word), but I didn't find how to do... Maybe there no equation editor ? Is there another possibility to do so ?
Thanks a lot

Hello Leø,
have a look at "Grapher" in "Applications/Utilities". With this app you can type math equations and you can drag and drop them as images into Pages. Of course, you have to save this equations in Grapher for editing because Pages will insert them as images. See if this can help you.

What is the best equation editor for pages on the iPad?

I am a math teacher and I just purchased an iPad. I am trying to releave myself from carrying around a laptop in favor of the light-weight iPad. I used MS Word 2011 on my MacBook and really love its new design for its Equation Editor, but now that I am with the iPad, I will be shifting to Pages and need to know how I can get the same results as I did with Word's Equation Editor. Any ideas? There seems to be a few apps for this, but I am not sure how they stack up and none of them are free for me to experiment with.

CloudOn has the excellent MS Word Equation Editor. It really neds a stylus to operate, but, with that caveat, it is an excellent solution.

How to develop equation editor in ADOBE AIR

I would like to know how to develop equation editor in FLEX
or AIR.

I don't believe AIR's HTML component supports MathML. It's
unfortunately not as popular as it should be, given the poor
alternatives.
What I do on my web site is write the equations in LaTeX
format, then render them down to PNGs with transparent backgrounds
and embed those into the page.
If your application absolutely has to allow input of
arbitrary equations, I'd allow the user to input LaTeX, then send
it off to a web service that you build which does the rendering
down to PNG. There will be some latency here, and it won't be
possible to do this editing offline, but once the equation is
renedered to a bitmap, you can cache it in an LSO for offline
display.

Equation Editor

I've got two issues that I have been unable to figure out when it comes to pasting items into a Pages document.
1.) Upon pasting the equation it is HUGE!!!! It may be 12 point in the equation editor, but in Pages if the margins are one inch each the equation comes in at 6.5 inches long!
2.) After clicking on this HUGE equation and resizing it I cannot get it to line up with the rest of the text. It is always in a superscript type position.

With Pages 09 - which I bought because MathType is compatible with it - I can obtain the Pages equivalent of a Word document and whatever MathType in it "travels reasonably well." I click on Open and etc.....
(As an aside "exporting" a Pages document to Word containing MathType is UNsatisfactory. The MathType objects do not remain on their intended line of text. Apple have known about this problem for ages but have done nothing about it apart from giving it a case number. )
I can also copy a MathType object which is in a Word document and paste it satisfactorily in a Pages document.
While if I ONLY open MathType I can construct a MathType object. It cannot be saved DIRECTLY in any document but it can be saved in a folder, for instance, as a .eps object. It can then be copied and pasted satisfactorily in a Pages document.
For the record I had bought "Office for Mac2004" when I bought the Mac in 2007 because I had any number of Word documents which contained MathType objects, and my version of MathType is 5.1.
I must therefore ask you a few more questions.
What type of document did you copy it from in order to paste it into a Pages document?
If it is Word, then what version?
The problem could perhaps arise because "unexpected (often unwanted) things tend to happen" when Microsoft "upgrades" its software.
Also, what version of Pages are you using?
If you are not using 09 then that might be the source of your problem because MathType is not supposed to be compatible with previous versions of Pages.
There has to be a reason why your MathType object ends up in what is equivalent to a massive "picture frame".
Over to you once more with feeling!?

Equation Editor in Flex

Would anyone happen to know how to enter detailed equations
in Flex - ideally, an equation editor of some kind that the user
can employ?

HT3986 Does equation editor in MS Word work with windows 7 on a imac

Just wondering if I buy an iMac and install Boot Camp whether or not all of the MS Office features will work?
For example, my wife needs to use equation editor in MS Word. It's sort of an add in in Word so I need to make sure all of those random features work before I go down this road.
Should I go to the store and ask for a demo or is this question a slam dunk?
Thanks in advance.

you are installing, running, Windows, natively, so it is the same.
a partition manager does not affect the OS, and the support driver software is just that

Equation editor in word for mac 2011

       I apologize if this is straying too far from elements of the Lion discussion but
I have seen others compliment the capability of the equation editor in Word for Mac 2011. It's icon is
at the right end of the Document Elements toolbar.
     But in my version of this software the icon is greyed out and unavailable. Any insight or comments?

    Thanks quicksilver8 - turned out eqation editor was greyey out because
my file was opened in "compatibility mode" - when I open a file in ".docx" mode
the equation editor is available.

Equation Editor in Microsoft Office and Leopard

I use the Equation Editor in MS Office 2004 for typing equations. Last week I upgraded to Leopard. Now when I use the Equation Editor I get some unexpected results. For example, putting a "dot" over a character results in "<<" over the character.
Since these problems appeared, I have performed a complete re-install of Office 2004 (with first moving the old Office 2004 and Microsoft-related .plist files to Trash) and performed all of the Office 2004 upgrades up to 11.3.9. No change -- the problem persists.
In contacting Microsoft, they focused in on the source as being problems with the system fonts and not problems with Office.
Has anyone else had these types of font problems since upgrading to Leopard?
Thanks.

I have what appears to be the same problem: a file created with Word in MS Office 2004 (in Tiger) containing equations written in Equation Editor, where the equations now appear in corrupted form: minus signs disappear, the greek letter lambda appears as #, although the greek letter mu appears fine. When I double-click the equations they appear correctly in the equation editor window. But embedded in the document they are corrupted and they print with the errors showing on paper.
I emailed the file to someone who has a Windows computer. They can open it fine and print it fine. I downloaded it from my email web browser at home, opened it on my home computer (iMac G5 also running Leopard) and it appears fine and prints fine. So I am no longer sure it's a Leopard issue. But it may be that font files have been changed somehow on my intel MacBook.
Any suggestions? I don't know what Font Book is.

Visio 2013 & Equation Editor 3.0 = Blurred Equation

My OS is Windows 8.1 Update 1. My PowerPoint is 2013 with SP1. My Visio is 2013 with SP1.
I have a PowerPoint file. It contains a Visio object. The Visio object contains some drawings and some Equation Editor 3.0 objects. The Equation Editor 3.0 objects are very clear in the original PowerPoint file. But if I open the PowerPoint file, right-click
the Visio object and edit it by Visio 2013, go back to PowerPoint, then the Equation Editor 3.0 objects will become blurred! Please see this video for the demonstration:
http://1drv.ms/1r2GanG
I downgraded only Visio from 2013 with SP1 to 2010. The problem was solved. So, the blurring problem could be a Visio 2013 bug. If it is, please fix this bug, Microsoft. Thanks.
The test PowerPoint files can be download here:
Original PPT: http://1drv.ms/1r2Ge74
Blurred PPT: http://1drv.ms/1r2Gjrf

Hi,
Based on my tested in my environment (OS Windows 8.1 & Office 2013 SP1), I can reproduce your issue with your PowerPoint files. But I found that your Visio file was not created in Visio 2013, when I double click the Equation Editor 3.0 objects
in Visio, I got an error message "An error(1415) occurred during the action open object. Visio is unable to edit the MathType 6.0 Equation Object". Thus, I suppose your Equation Editor 3.0 objects have some compatibility issues with Visio 2013.
Then, I try to create a new Equation Editor in Visio 2013, and insert to a PowerPoint 2013 file, it works well.
Please try the workaround to recreate them with Office 2013 suits and do not use the original file.

So I re install it from the iwork's disk and when I tried to open any of the Apps, the system told me " check with the developer to make sure Keynote (for example) works with this version of Mac OS X "
iwork was running in my computer just a few moment ago !
Can anyone tell me what can I do? thanks

Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer after the installation? Check SU?

Equation Editor in Captivate 8 in Windows 10

Hello
I have installed Captivate 8 (32 bit) in
Windows 7 (32 Bit); and
Windows 10 Technical Preview (64 bit - Captivate 8 is 32 bit).
Captivate is working absolutely fine. I installed NeoVoices + Adobe Assets files in both the machines,
But when I tried Equation Editor, it works comfortably in windows 7 but in windows 10, I cannot edit it.
In Windows 7 machine- Whenever I insert equation editor, it opens up a new MathMagic Editor. I can edit equation and it has no problem at all.
But in case of Windows 10, no MathMagic editor opens up. I cannot edit equation at all.
Can someone please guide me.
Thanks

Equation Editor MS Word

Hi all!
I would like to create connection MS Word. so I have a string control, set text : E = mc^2 and this text is sent to MS Word. As you know, MS office has a very good equation editor, and I wanna use it from Labview. So, If I set any mathematical text as tags in MS Word, select text -> Insert->equation->professional, the text converted to real equation form. So, Could you send me an example, that shows me how to use this feature of MS Word using Labview??
or is there any useable Activex Control to solve my problem? I found one, but it is a trial version...

This sounds like a problem with Word, rather than a problem is your Mac. You might want to post your question here:

[Equation Editor] Argmin and Argmax parameter

hi
there is one slight problem i have with equation editor and it that i cant write argmax and argmin parameter below the main function. for example i want to find i which minimize a function
W=argmin_i f(i)
the first i should be just below the argmin, but if i use _ it will be after thr argmin and below it. i also used the matrix section "2x1 emtry matrix" but it will reduce the size of the argmin and make the whole equation ugly.
is there a solution for this?
best regards.

Hi,
As this issue, add ”” to _ then the issue will be solved.
In the Equation, type in:
W=argmin”_”i f(i)

Word Equation Editor: Crashing

Good evening interested people,
I've found a bug that crashes word using equation editor, although I cannot always reproduce it.
I figure I'll get a couple comments telling me to use LaTeX instead, don't care. That doesn't fix the bug within word.
Sometimes when I create an equation (by pressing "alt" "+") and start typing an equation, but realize I don't want to use the equation so I press backspace until it exits the equation editor mode (deleting the entire thing)
Word will crash. I've used microsoft 2010 word editor for a few years and have not had this problem at all. After switching to 2013, I have this problem a dozen + times.
I've tried everything on the user side to fix it, no solution has worked (including disabling hardware acceleration).
The fact that it didn't occur on earlier versions and later occurred in 2013, I figure this is a good place to compare differences.
I should also mention this has happened on two different operating systems on two different computers (windows 7 and windows 10 preview). The windows 10 preview is a new install that had no other version of office on the system. While it may be operating
system based, the fact it occurs on both 7 and 10 makes it unlikely (unless it is a bug with windows).
The fact it occurs on a newly installed operating system makes it unlikely previous installations of office is causing the problem.

Hi Statistician,
I followed your steps, and could not reproduce this issue. Do you mind going to Event view and check if there are logged some detailed information about crash?
