I can't edit or create them on my school-issued MacBook. To be able to create the best quality equations, you can either download MathType 7 for Desktop or install our plugins for Microsoft Word 365 or Google Workspace. Yet, I have hundreds of worksheets, presentations and assessments that contain the old MathType equations that I have to use my Windows laptop to access. I don't see MathType on a Mac being a viable solution for years (if ever). Not compatible with earlier MathType formulas or equation editor formulas. MathType, the world's most famous equation editor, is now available in its new version as an Add-In for Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. It is missing functionality like expanding integral signs, mix of parentheses and brackets needed for interval notation, color, connectivity to WolframAlpha, no LaTeX on copy. no keyboard shortcuts, you can't type sqrt to get the radical sign, you can't double-click on the equation to edit it, but have to click on the MathType add in and then click on "Open MathType". It is awkward to use and is barely an improvement from the built-in equation editor e.g.
The images are blurry on screen, especially in a PDF. The output is of noticeably poorer quality than the previous version of MathType since it creates images of formulas in the Word document. WIRIS says that there will not be a new version of MathType for macOS Catalina/BigSur "for the foreseeable future." Their current solution of a Microsoft Word add-in doesn't meet my needs:
