The Editor can check for over 150 grammar issues and refinements beyond spelling, including the following:Īll the grammar and refinement options are available in the Word Options dialog box.

For the record though, MathType has had color capability since April 1999, when MathType 4 was released. That's incorrect, but what if MathType 6 did just introduce color? I'm not sure what your point is. Moreover, the built-in version supports colors, which Mathtype 6.0 just now introduced. That's only 5 differences there are more. Finally, MathType integrates very well into PowerPoint 2007, which the OMML EE does not. To do this with the OMML EE is a kludgy workaround. Fourth, with MathType you can easily number your display equations and include references in your text that link to the equation numbers. Third, the equation library in the OMML EE has very limited capability to organize your equations, while on the MathType toolbar you can arrange your equations however you want. Second, Cambria Math won't print to some printers (such as the HP LJ 1200), and has sometimes shown to be problematic when converting to PDF (using Acrobat). If you're using Verdana in your document, for example, your equations will still be Cambria Math. The OMML EE has one choice - Cambria Math. First, you can change to any font you want in MathType. However, there are plenty of reasons why someone might decide the OMML Equation Editor (i.e., the "new equation editor" in Word 2007) is inadequate. "Now that 2007 has it built in, there's really no reason I need MathType anymore." That's a personal decision, and if you don't need MathType anymore, I won't argue with that. I do need to respond to some inaccuracies in your post though. We appreciate the suggestion to look at MathType 6, and you are correct that MathType can display the limits above and below the summation symbol in inline equations.

But now that 2007 has it built in, there's really no reason I need MathType anymore, although it may be a little more capable than the built in equation editor. It can display limits on top and below in Inline Equations. You may want to look at MathType 6.0 by DesignScience.
