Reply To: Any MathMagic Users?

Hi Niko,

A bit late, but thanks for the post. But we use the macversion of Mathtype. And that is really problem. Maybe it is better to make a pc only workflow for mathtype and forget about the mac platform. Mathtype for mac is a real problem. I am not so concerned about the the fact that exporting to pdf is the only way to get an output from indesign, but the disappearing of particular characters when placing the equations in indesign.

Because we use the mac as default and people can edit equations easily, i am thinking of this workflow.

1. Export the equations from Word 2007 (pc only) with mathtype plugin

2. Use the convert option of Mathmagic (mathtype–>mathmagic)

3. Automatic placement of mathmagic equations with the right baseline settings.

Maybe you have another idea?
