I have the (free) Microsoft Mathematics Add-in for Word 2007 (Windows).

It is working great-- it has a symbolic algebra capability -- it solves, factors , graphs etc. .

But I am sharing documents with people who work on Macs.

First of all the Equation tool (native to Word 2007 for Windows) produces equations that are not readable in Office 2008 for Mac. I have to use the "Insert Object Equation" method which brings up Equation 3.0 -- they can read those equations and edit them.

If they had Office 2011 could they read my equations from the Equation Tool?

Is the Microsoft Mathematics Add-in for Word  available for Mac Word 2011?  (apparently it is not available for Word 2008 for Mac)

    The Microsoft Mathematics Add-in requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, which is a component of Microsoft Windows, so it won't run on a Mac. Click this link for the system requirements:

    Macs come with a built-in application called Grapher, which is in your Applications > Utilities folder.
