* Equations created with Microsoft Word 2007 or newer


If you have MS Word documents(.docx) with equations created in Linear format equation editor introduced in Microsoft Word 2007 or newer.
This new equation editor lets user type equations in TeX-like linear expressions called "Office Math Markup Language", "Office MathML" or 'OMML' in short.
Although the traditional "Equation Editor" 3.0 via Insert Object menu command is still available, many Word users prefer to using this new linear format equation editor especially when they are already familiar with TeX.

MathMagic's the current built-in MS Word equation converter could not handle this new linear format equations saved in OMML in .docx file.
We are working on this and hope to release a newer version around September to support OMML equations too. MathMagic File menu -> Convert -> MS Word document will seamlessly support the linear OMML equation as well as MathType equation, Equation Editor equation, and MathMagic equation. Please stay tuned.

* AsciiMath under development


MathMagic wants to be a hub application to bridge various math expressions, such as LaTeX, Plain TeX, MathML, Wiki, MS Word equation formats, and more.

As a part of this effort, we are adding ASCII Math format soon, hopefully within this month if everything goes well.

AsciiMath notation has some limitation in writing complex equations and various symbols but is quite useful for many simple equations, as you can find from these examples.

    x^2 + y^(3k)
    sqrt(a) / b
    a_1 = (pi) * r^2

* What else to develop in the future?


Too many...
Hundreds of wish list in our future spec database, waiting to be a higher priority so that a development schedule can be assigned.
Some interesting things include conversion of human native reading of math expressions, iPad and other smart phone versions, Safari Extension and support for other browsers, equation templates for Biologists, ...
We work hard because we hope to serve you everywhere.
Should you have any suggestion for future versions, please share it with us.
