It looks like you can still do equations, but you have to do text-entry formatted to their sort of pseudo-latex style. Am I missing something, or is this feature just simply not supported for Mac yet? It would seem strange, since Word and PowerPoint for Mac have had working equation editors for years.Įdit I found this page, which seems to be quite helpful. In short, I can't actually write an equation. A new equation textbox would appear below where you need. Enter the first line of the above equation in the newly created equation text-box and to go to the next line press ‘Shift + Return/Enter’. The usual Word or PowerPoint equation editor keyboard shortcuts don't do anything, there's no equation editor menu / box that pops up anywhere. Click ‘Equation’ (3rd icon from the right) Click ‘Insert new equation’. In Word, Excel, or Outlook, to return to your document, click. Use the symbols, templates, or frameworks on the Equation toolbar to edit the equation. Double-click the equation object that you want to edit. The only difference is whatever I type in there is italicized, but otherwise it's a regular text box. If you used Equation Editor to insert an equation, you can also edit that equation in Equation Editor. Went to try to write an equation (from the 'Insert' menu), and it just opened what looks like a regular text box. Thought this could be an excellent new tool to take digital notes for my classes. I just excitedly downloaded OneNote onto my MacBook Pro from the App store.
