                 Notes for Installation of Mathtype 3.0e
         (This is the current shipping version in late summer 1994.)

Note: This copy was purchased as an add-on to MS Word for Windows 2.x or 6.x.
I think that you can use it with other word processors as well, but the
installation will not be so nicely automated.  Other than the installation, I
do not think the Mathtype software itself is any different than a "stand-alone"
version, which Design Science sells for about twice the price.
     Mathtype licenses the Equation Editor which ships with MS Word for Windows.
That Equation Editor is a mini version of the full Mathtype Equation Editor
which you have here.  From the back of the box, here is a list of the added
features which you now have:
       Customizable Macro, Template, and Symbol Bars
       WordBasic macros for automatic equation numbering and more
       Faster  access to Mathtype with the Mathtype Server
       WordPerfect and TEX translators
       Ability to save and load multiple preference settings
       Ability to save equations as Encapsulate PostScript (EPS) files
       Sophisticated ruler for precise formatting via tab stops
       Expanded manual (alas, I can't give you that!) and on-line help
If you (or your company) can afford to buy Mathtype, it would be nice to
support the guys who wrote it -- it's a nice product.  You can order from:
           Design Science, Inc.
           4028 Broadway
           Long Beach, CA  90803

In any event, let's install your newly acquired copy of Mathtype:

0. The installation process will insist on writing your name, etc. into
   INSTALL.EXE.  To retain a "virgin" copy of Mathtype, just copy INSTALL.EXE
   to, say, INSTLBAK.EXE before starting the install process.  When you are
   done, overwrite INSTALL.EXE with INSTLBAK.EXE and your copy will be as
   though never installed.

1. You should be in Windows, but it is probably best not to have Word for
   Windows 2.x or 6.x active (one of them should be installed, however).
   Run Mathtype's INSTALL.EXE.

2. A dialog box appears during the install, with a place for your name, your
   company name, and a registration number.  However, this number is not
   required.  You can leave it blank or make up one.

3. After Mathtype is installed, you need to integrate it seamlessly into
   MS Word 6.0a for Windows.  You open Word for Windows and open WW6MACRO.DOC to
   do this.  There is a README that will be set up by the install (from the
   README.WRI in this ZIP), which you can read for more info.  But the essence
   is that WW6MACRO.DOC has an automated install -- open WW6MACRO.DOC from
   inside MS Word and you will see a box to click on.  This installs several
   useful macros, as documented in WW6MACRO.DOC, and causes several new items
   to appear in your MS Word menus (mostly in Insert and Tools).

4. To create a new Mathtype icon on your MS Word toolbar, from inside MS Word
   6.0a do:  Tools, Customize, Toolbars, select Macros (under categories) &
   choose Insert Equation.  Then DRAG with the mouse to a blank space on the
   toolbar, probably at the extreme right.  A new icon will be created.  This
   is documented in WW6MACRO.DOC.

5. Most people will want updated equations to automatically show as updated in
   their document.  If you want this, then from inside Mathtype click on:
   Preferences, Other Preferences, and click on "Suppress 'Update Changes'
   dialog box."  Then, when you finish an equation, just close the equation
   window (with Mouse on upper left -, or using CTRL-F4) and there will be
   no delay while you are prompted before returning to Word.
        While you are in Preferences, Other Preferences, you will probably
   (unless RAM is at a premium) want to click on "OLE Startup in Server Mode."
   Then, the first time you invoke Mathtype with the icon, it loads from your
   hard disk, but thereafter, as long as Word for Windows is open, Mathtype
   remains open and in memory, even when you close its window and return to
   your Word document.  Thus, on second and subsequent equations, when you
   click on the Mathtype icon, the Mathtype window appears instantaneously!
   You can achieve the same effect by always loading Mathtype in server mode
   before you enter MS Word, but the above is easier -- you'll never have to
   think about it again!

6. Numbering equations: this is now automated!  Choose Insert Equation # to
   create a number.  To renumber equations, e.g., after you just inserted
   another one up above ones already existing, select a whole section (or the
   whole document) and hit F9.

7. You can also key references to equation numbers in the text to the actual
   equation numbers, so that if an equation number changes, the reference to
   it changes automatically.  Click on Insert, Equation Reference, and then
   double-click on the appropriate Equation Number to insert that number at
   the cursor, rather than typing it in directly.  Then, when you select, say,
   the whole document and hit F9, the equation numbers are renumbered, and
   also the equation numbers referenced in the text are updated accordingly.

8. You can go one step further and create a macro to automatically center your
   equations and "flush right" the equation numbers.  Mathtype Help describes
   how to do this with tab stops -- see "Numbering Equations."
