V6.8新增功能:
New Features in MathType 6.8
MathType 6.8 for Windows new features:
1.Compatible with 64-bit Office 2010.
2."Exact speech" rules. When creating accessible web content with MathType's MathPage feature, sometimes it's desirable to specify the exact string of text that MathPlayer will read aloud through a screen reader. MathType 6.8 lets you specify exact speech for all or part of an equation.
3.Paste tables and spreadsheet cells into MathType as matrices. MathType lets you copy and paste a range of spreadsheet cells or a table in a word processing document, and paste it into the equation you are working on. MathType will convert the data into a matrix.
4.Expanded compatibility with equations in web pages. Many websites display GIF images for their equations. If these were created with MathType, you can copy & paste them into MathType to re-use in your own work.
5.Additional capability to work with a growing list of software applications, web applications, and websites. Notable additions are Experts 123, Prezi, Quora, and Windows Live Writer. See Using MathType with Applications and Websites for details.
