Hi All,

I need advice from all of them reg. the alignment of MathType Equations.

We have developed a javascript which will place all the equation in appropriate places.

The script will search <<Eqn001.eps>> etc... and replace with appropriate image over there. Its working fine.

Still there is manual intervention of aligning the equation. We are unable to Align the equation in place, we need to align it manually. Is there is any way to align it properly.

I have downloaded the Demo version of "MT2InD_CS3_demo" from Adobe site. This Demo version is aligining the equation automatically and its perfect.

We need advice how to align the equation.

We are using Indesign CS2 in MAC OS.

MathMagic reads MathType equations including MathType EPS files.

And MathMagic Pro comes with InDesign CSx plug-ins. MathMagic plug-ins have the ability to align the baseline of EPS equations automatically when inserted as inline graphics in a text box.

There is also a dialog UI to adjust the baseline manually (up to in 1/1000 pt unit) if the automatic setting should be changed for some reasons.

MathMagic Pro also offers other benefits such as duble-clicking to reedit the equation, and other productivity options.

Any particular reason you are "responding" to a 2 yr old post?

Are you, perhaps, associated with this "MathMagic"? If so, I'll make sure it appears on my list of "extensions not to suggest to people".

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the suggestion you have given to get the baseline information.

We have done it and its working fine all the equation are properly aligned, and the equation around space also we have removed. Its perfect there is no manual work on this.

Thanks for the valuable suggestion.

MathType eps equations contain the baseline information. Open one with a text editor and you'll see it there. You can read that with a script and make the appropriate adjustments.
