Dec 12, 2017 Don't use the equations pane in Word. It's painful and cumbersome. Windows & Mac users can install this free Add-in called MyScript from the Office Store, which you can use to handwrite Math. Microsoft Equation Editor 3.0 (MEE) was a third-party component that was included in many versions of Office to help users add math equations to documents. MEE was pulled from the product, retroactively back to Office 2007, due to security concerns. Office 2011 now also has Equation Editor, per this Microsoft Office blog post: For users who add or edit equations in their Word docs, the new equation editor in Word for Mac 2011 is a welcome new feature that makes equation editing cross-platform with Word for Windows.
For a while now it’s been possible to switch Word’s math input mode from UnicodeMath to LaTeX. We didn’t advertise this highly requested feature since it needed more work. I wrote the original conversion routines back in Fall, 2007 and used them in preparing PowerPoint physics presentations since they’re handy for copying equations from Wikipedia articles. But we’ve been involved in many other things which delayed the necessary testing for a shipping product. Next month you’ll be able to use LaTeX math in Office 365 math zones. Word has a new math ribbon with an explicit LaTeX option as shown in the article Linear format equations using UnicodeMath and LaTeX in Word. Here’s an image of the left corner of the Word math ribbon showing LaTeX as the current input format
Formula autobuildup is disabled for LaTeX in Word since it needs some more work. Word adds two new hot keys 1) to build up (ctrl+=) a math zone and 2) to build down (shift+ctrl+=). The hot key alt+= inserts a math zone (or removes one).
LaTeX in PowerPoint and OneNote
Currently, it’s trickier to enable LaTeX in OneNote and PowerPoint since you need to define a new math autocorrect control word to change the input mode. Type alt+= to enter a math zone and on the math ribbon click on the lower right corner of the Tools section. This brings up the Equation Options dialog. Click on Math Autocorrect and in the Replace text box type TeX and in the With text box type 24C9 alt+x to enter Ⓣ. From then on you can type TeX<space> in a math zone to switch the input format from UnicodeMath to LaTeX in OneNote and PowerPoint. If you want, you can define LF as 24C1 alt+x to enter Ⓛ. This control word switches back to UnicodeMath, which we used to call the Linear Format. Note that formula autobuildup is not disabled by default in PowerPoint and OneNote, so you can see how you like it.

Math Autocorrect
Note that the math autocorrect control word integral enters the mode-locking equation
by building up the UnicodeMath text
1/2π ∫_0^2π▒ⅆθ/(a+b sin θ)=1/√(a^2-b^2)
I did note Many MVP's don't like Publisher because it tries to make Word Do stuff it's not supposed to do. Jones, C.E.T. Jim please reread my answer.My two Suggestions were if he wanted Publisher to buy a PC or To buy Parallels, Windows and signing up for PC Version.There is no confusion. Get microsoft publisher for mac free. Publish never been available for Mac and Never will be. That also applies to Publishing layout view in the Mac version.Disclaimer:The questions, discussions, opinions, replies & answers I create, are solely mine and mine alone, and do not reflect upon my position as a Community Moderator.

This won’t build up correctly if LaTeX input is enabled. For PowerPoint and OneNote, you can define your own math-autocorrect control words using LaTeX notation which will build up correctly when LaTeX is enabled. In LaTeX the mode-locking equation is given by
frac{1}{2pi}int_{0}^{2pi}frac{dtheta}{a+bsin{theta}}=frac{1}{sqrt{a^2-b^2}}. Microsoft picture it 10 software.
It might be tempting to auto-switch to UnicodeMath build-up if a control-word inserts text with Unicode characters above the ASCII range. But people will probably switch to XeTeX or some other Unicode enabled TeX dialect for which this simple heuristic wouldn’t apply. In fact, Unicode TeX builds up correctly in Office math apps. For example, you can build up
Microsoft Word Equation Shortcut
frac1{2π}∫_0^{2π}frac{dθ}{a+bsin{θ}}=frac1{√{a^2-b^2}}
which is easier to read than the pure ASCII version above. You can insert many Unicode characters from the galleries in the math ribbon.
Control Words

The LaTeX option supports all TeX control words appearing in Appendix B of the UnicodeMath spec. That includes many math operators, Greek letters, and various other symbols. The verbose LaTeX notations like begin{equation} and begin{matrix} aren’t supported, but the more concise TeX notations are supported, such as matrix{…} and pmatrix{…}. Fractions can be entered in the LaTeX form frac{…}{…} or in the TeX form {…over…}. displaymath is implied if the math zone fills the hard/soft paragraph and currently it can’t be turned on in inline math zones. Unicode math alphanumerics can be entered using control words like mathbf{}. As for UnicodeMath, you can toggle math bold and math italic using the bold and italic buttons on the Home ribbon. You can enter script, open-face (double struck), and fraktur letters with control words like scriptX, doubleX, and frakturX, respectively. For example, scriptS enters as does mathcal{S}. The article Linear format equations using UnicodeMath and LaTeX in Word contains a list of many supported control words.

More enhancements are likely to be offered in the future. For example, it would be nice to have a Unicode LaTeX build-down option since it’s much easier to read than pure ASCII LaTeX. Also, it’d be nice to offer a formula autobuildup option in Word since it’s easier to see what you’re typing when you don’t have to wade through myriad control words. But the current facility is a big step forward for folks who know LaTeX well.
