Math Input Panel can be used with the current version of MathType. The next version of MathType, 6.6 to be released around the time of the Windows 7 release, will add an Insert Handwritten Math command that integrated the Math Input Panel feature directly.

I would prefer this program to be more similar to the calculator program, as well as doing what it is designed for now.

Love it , its much easier to use compared to micro Eqn . A wonderful program in win7 ! A suggestion would be to allow us to include basic signs or make amendments with the keyboard whenever possible at the top section .

I like the tool, but I also like my Office 2003 ;(
I think the WordPad of Win7 should capture the output, so I could copy it to my Office2003-Documents.

I have an HP tablet tx 2000 that I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from windows Vista. I am a math education major so I often have to use equation editor, but I also can’t afford to upgrade to word 2007 or 2010. I have read in other forums that the Math input panel will work with Open Office, but when I downloaded it and tried to use the input panel to insert math into an open office document, nothing happened, is there something else I need to be doing, or does open office not actually support mathML?
thanks
I also have the same problem. What is not being relayed is that the Insert did not work at all. When pressing Insert the following error is displayed:
“Item not Collected – Format not supported by Office Clipboard.”
Consequently Ctrl-V will not paste the expression into any application because it never got into the Clipboard.
I have Office 2002.

This program doesn’t seem to trust me when I try to do discrete mathematical equations. I try to put in the and symbol, and when I go to correct it from whatever it gives me, it won’t let me change it (despite giving said symbol as an option).

The whole Equation format for windows 7 seems to have a sharp learning curve. It takes a while to get the hang of it. Especially when the formats are as simple as exponent, subscript, multiply, divide, add, subtract; the equation format seems to make the process very complex without contributing anything of substance.
Math is too important to have such a sharp learning curve. I appreciate the $20 calculator that Microsoft offers, truly a help in understanding math concepts.

Nice tutorial. didn’t know this facility exists in Windows.
A bit slow method though. I’d prefer writing equations using equation editor in windows though.

I am finding this leaves something to be desired when it comes to recognizing my handwriting. I wish there was a way to train math input just like I have with handwriting input.

How do you tell it where to print the equation? Insert just results in everything going blank

WHen I purchased my computer with Math Input, the sales person said it would help solves math problems. Fast forward a couple years and I need to help my kids with problems I dont remember.
Does this solve problems? If not, do you know where I might go to check my kids work? Old Dad that doesnt remember.
