Online Equation Editor. This equation editor opens in a pop-up window when you click on the link below. You can enter math characters, symbols or expressions by clicking on the icons provided. A snippet of code appears below. Then edit the code, and type your numbers or variables in it, or some additional text. Online WYSIWYG Mathematics Editor (Equation Editor), fast and powerful Editing features, inputting Normal text, Math symbols, and drawing Graph/Diagram in one single editor, help writing Math Document much easier. Export to Latex, Tikz, SVG, or Image (PNG). Free Equation Editor is an efficient and practical software solution created for individuals who often find themselves in the need to write down mathematical or scientific equations, as it can. The Equation Editor allows you to easily define complex equations within a Word document. Many other WordTips have dealt with how to use the Equation Editor and format equations. Normally, you use one of these two methods to start the Equation Editor: Double-click on an existing equation originally created with the Equation Editor. The editor is highly customisable and integrates directly within websites to create equations in a range of formats for use across the web and mobile platforms. See Equation Editor API for more details. Rows: Columns: Back. Define equation with LaTeX markup. Or to jump between brackets and matrix elements.

While creating your Word document, you may need to use mathematical expressions. There are times when you may need to write fractions, summations, or insert symbols into your document. The Equation Editor lets you easily choose from a toolbar containing math symbols or templates you may need. This document explains the Equation Editor and how it can be used to create equations.

About the Equation Editor

The Equation Editor lets you insert symbols and build complex equations. Once you open the Equation Editor, a screen appears where you can manage and edit your math equations. The Equation Editor includes a toolbar that has many math symbols (e.g., greater than or less than sign, infinity, equal sign) and templates (e.g., fractions, summations, integrals). Once inserted into your Word document, the math symbols or templates act as objects and can be managed similarly.

After inserting a symbol or template, a box appears surrounding the equation. If you want to edit your equation, double click on the box. This opens the Equation Editor, where you can format your equation appropriately. Once you click the mouse outside of the box, the Equation Editor will disappear.

Opening the Equation Editor

The Equation toolbar has two different rows. The top row includes access to more than 150 different math symbols you can insert, and the bottom row accesses about 120 different templates. When you click a symbol or template button, an options palette appears. From the palette you can select the appropriate symbol or template, inserting it onto the work area in the Equation Editor.

To open the Equation Editor and access the Equation toolbar:

1. In Word, place the insertion point where you want the math symbol or template to appear

2. From the Insert menu, select Object...
   The Object dialog box appears.

3. Windows: From the Object type scroll box, select Microsoft Equation 3.0
   Macintosh: From the Object type scroll box, select Microsoft Equation

4. Click OK
   Windows: The EquationEditor and Equation toolbar appear.
   Macintosh: The Equation dialog box appears containing the Equation Editor and Equation toolbar.
   

Using the Equation Editor

After opening the Equation Editor, you are ready to select a symbol or template. Symbols are single characters (e.g., logic symbols, set theory symbols, Greek letters). Templates are symbols that include spaces in which you can type numbers (e.g., fractions, summations, integrals). Once you select a symbol or template it appears in the work area in the Equation Editor. From this, you can modify your symbols or, if you choose to insert a template, you can create an equation.

1. Open the Equation Editor

2. From the Equation toolbar, click the appropriate button
   A palette of options appears.

3. From the palette, click the appropriate symbol or template that you want to insert
   The selected symbol or template is inserted into the document.

4. Continue with Creating Equations

Creating Equations

After choosing a symbol or template from the Equation toolbar, you are ready to make it an equation by typing numbers or letters in the appropriate text boxes. Once the template appears in the work area of the Equation Editor, an insertion point automatically appears in one of the outlined text boxes. These text boxes are where you will type in the information for your equation. If you do not wish to start where the insertion point is automatically placed, press [Tab] until you reach the appropriate text box.

NOTE: When working with Macintosh, you must create your equation inside of the Equation dialog box. Once you insert it into your Word document by closing the dialog box, you can not add numbers or letters to it.

Equation Editor 3.0

1. Insert a symbol or template
   

2. Within the outline text boxes, type the appropriate information
   HINT: To navigate between text boxes, press [Tab]
   The equation is complete.
   

3. Windows: To close the Equation Editor, click outside of it
   Macintosh: To close the Equation dialog box, close the window

Make your next paper or presentation faster with EqualX. It is easy,intuitive, cool and assists you while you type your LaTeX equations.

In case you don't know LaTeX, its no problem. The Templates Toolbar provides common equations to choose from.

Another handy toolbar is the Symbols Toolbar. It was specifically arranged in smart groups so that you will never feel at a lost when looking for a symbol you don't know. Hover over the symbol and a tooltip will tell you more. Click it and it will be automatically inserted in the editor. Its easy!

All of the symbols presented in the Symbols Toolbar are also available in the editor. Just start typing and a completion menu appears with symbols to choose. The completion menu is great!

It is difficult to write equations and understand at a glance what you typed. That's the reason why EqualX has syntax highlighting. You can even highlight parts of the latex equation and after a Refresh the highlighted selection will also appear in the generated equation. Make use of this behaivour with the Find tool.

Besides, EqualX has support for exporting to most common used file types. And you can even load them back.
