I am finally making the switch from Windows to Mac and one big impediment/irritant is in the switch from Word for Windows to Word for Mac. I do a lot of mathematical work and have a large number of Word documents with equations in them from the Word 2010/2011 equation feature. In the Windows version, this is just a Pi symbol that I click to start typing an equation, and I can insert functions, summations, fractions, exponents, things like that really easily.
I have Word 2008 on my Mac right now and none of those documents will even open. I could try updating to the newest version of Office, but I'm worried that I'll do that, they still won't work, and I'll be out a lot of money. I'd like to not only open all these documents but also to continue writing mathematical documents the same way I'm used to on Windows. What can I do? You may be interested in checking out. Their notes: Since Microsoft has restored VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) to Office 2011, we were able to restore all the MathType commands in Word that had to be dropped for Office 2008, including an insert equation button, equation numbering, and many others. Although many of our customers use MathType with Office, we also know that you are interested in adding equations to emails, blog posts, elearning systems, and many other applications and websites.
Continuing our “Equations Everywhere and Anywhere” philosophy, MathType 6.7 expands support to more than 500 applications and websites, including iWork '09 (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), OpenOffice, Google Docs, InDesign, Maple, Mathematica, Wolfram Alpha, Blackboard, Moodle, Smart Board, Gmail, Wikipedia, to name just a few. Some of you will be happy to know we’ve rewritten MathType’s installer from the ground up.
It no longer requires Rosetta and the installation process is much, much faster. The full feature list is listed on. Office 2011 now also has Equation Editor, per this Microsoft Office: For users who add or edit equations in their Word docs, the new equation editor in Word for Mac 2011 is a welcome new feature that makes equation editing cross-platform with Word for Windows. You now have several options to select from for working on equations within Word. For you, using Microsoft Office 2011 is the best way to go, IMO.

In case you are not familiar which TeX tools in OSX, you may continue reading:) I prefer to use TeXShop or for mathematical documentation. You can also download the whole package with is a collection of various tools for using TeX on OSX. A very convenient solution provides which allows to create simple equations and export them as a picture or other format for you to use in a word document.
You can create equations with their preamble, compile them and export them. I keep the code of the equations in a simple text document in case I need to edit something later.
Question: Q: 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.
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, Based on the log, Faulting application path: C: WINDOWS SysWOW64 werfault.exe. 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?

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? Regards, George Zhao TechNet Community Support Sorry for the delayed response, I hope there is a notification you get since I replied to you. Hi, Based on the log, Faulting application path: C: WINDOWS SysWOW64 werfault.exe. Hi, folks - This rather old thread still comes up as the lead hit in a Google search, so I'll revive it. This problem still occurs, even in recent versions of Word. George, the thread that you referenced has little to do with the problem, unfortunately.
The behavior mentioned by the OP is exactly the issue that I encounter. When deleting an equation through to the beginning, most of the time things work fine. However, once in a while, Word completely hangs. This bug seems to have continued through several versions of Word now. The equation editor is wonderful, but this insidious bug adds a frustrating twist on a great feature.
