Hi... I can't seem to get Mathtype to work properly with iBooks Author. When I go to inset equation a placeholder appears, double clicking opens Mathtype then the equation I type won't appear? When I manually copy & paste, the inline equation is higher than the body text - not cool!
Any ideas?
Thanks...
Design Science says their stuff is not supported on iOS. Not sure what anyone can do for you in that case, sorry.
MathType works quite nicely with iBook Author. You key your equation in the pane that opens when you select Insert and then MathType equation. You will benefit from downloading a user manual to read about setting preferences, what the little icons mean, etc.
p.s. Once you key the equation, you close the pane to insert the equation.
"no time flat" is correct -- MathType works quite nicely with iBooks Author. For full instructions about using these 2 products together, see our website: http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/works_with.htm?target=ibooks_author_m ac

Sorry, but i beg to differ! I have tried but unfortunately Mathtype does work nicely for me. When I paste straight from MathType the equation is massive, then when I resize it is not aligned to the text. The insert command does not work at all.
I have MathType 6 and OS10.7.3
Any ideas why I am having this problem?
PS Same thing happens when I paste into Pages, but Word 2011 works fine??
You didn't mention your version of MathType in your initial post. That's exactly the issue -- to use MathType with either Pages or iBooks Author under Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) or Lion (OS X 10.7) requires MathType 6.7 or later (6.7d is current). This article explains why: http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/tsn/tsn130.htm. (The article mentions only Snow Leopard, but applies equally to Lion.)
OK, thanks for that. Guess I will need to upgrade - I wasn't aware my version of MathType was out of date. Cheers...
