BIG PROBLEM HERE. Math Type is NOT available for the New MS Office 2008. I am having a huge issue with my upgrade.

I'm using the built in equation editor, and the equations look nice after I complete them. However, when I save the equations become fuzzy (low resolution). They are simply unacceptable for typeface.

Has Design Science found a way around this????

MathType 6 for Macintosh will be Leopard and Office 2008 compatible,
and will be available this summer.

No: THAT one is Microsoft's bug :-)

You can partially work-around it by copying the equation into a graphics
application, saving as PDF, then using Insert>Picture>From File to insert it
into the Word document.

It's laborious, but it will get you a printable equation until the bug gets
fixed.

Another work-around is to find a copy of Windows Word. Open the equation in
WinWord, add and remove one character, then save and close. WinWord will
fix the equation for you until the next time you save it on a Mac.

Hope this helps

Hi Bob:

We only just finished summer. You mean it's not available until
December/February 2009?!?!

Cheers

I'll GET you, Bob Matthews...

That's IT... You're really gonna catch it now...

(For all those residents of the "other" 189 of the 190 countries in the
world, Bob was trying to say " MathType 6 for Macintosh will be Leopard and
Office 2008 compatible, and will be available around June/July of 2008".)

Cheers
