The mac version of office does not support editing mathtype formulas, inserting visio graph text garbled characters, tired and not loving

Use Word's LaTeX Convert, refer to the figure below https://i.imgur.com/Yz1UcNc.png Word's support for LaTeX is incomplete, but it supports most formulas for most people. If the formulas you use are more complex and have higher typesetting requirements, you will naturally use LaTeX.

Anonymous1995 Apr 11, 2025Can you use word to solve it? In order to use mac, I have to learn LaTeX again, so I don't have to work hard

Anonymous9651 Apr 11, 2025@ Anonymous7694 is not up to Jie Qing Changjiang for the time being, but writing notebooks is mainly for writing, and there is no need for a lot of formulas and complex image requirements. The Mac version of word is completely sufficient.

Anonymous9429 Apr 11, 2025I haven't written a paper and haven't used such advanced features. But I read it online and run a windows virtual machine with macOS. visual studio runs in a virtual machine, which is smoother, faster, and more stable than running natively on another PC. Try parallel to run a virtual machine. How about using it in Windows?

Anonymous1787 Apr 11, 2025@ Anonymous831 What you said upstairs is right. For scientific researchers, there is still more word, because the project book you write needs to be communicated and revised with peers, and LateX is rarely used.

Anonymous9803 Apr 11, 2025I only remember the x86 era, there was a huge excel to edit. The mac version of excel is stuck when opening files forever. Finally, I installed Win10 + Office on a pd virtual machine on my mac and successfully opened the file in one minute. I don't know if installing the arm version of win11 and office now can reproduce this scene.

Anonymous9804 Apr 11, 2025It is easy to refute saying on the Internet that "mac is not productive". In my own scientific research, I use mac to do text work every day. When inserting visio garbled characters, our group usually uses tif diagrams to insert, so no matter what software we use to make diagrams, we finally export tif and then insert them into Word. In this way, there will be no problem whether it is used in mac or windows office.

Anonymous5638 Apr 12, 2025To contribute, the formula editor that comes with MS Word will do. One thing to say, foreigners rarely buy mathtype, either MS Word or LaTEX typesetting software. As for numbering and formula alignment, there are many tutorials on YouTube, such as: https://youtu.be/3jfLmmcG8fw? si = JORAJsoNAzMZ43PN

Anonymous3741 Apr 12, 2025The functions of mathtype proprietary software are simple and expensive. It was already an old antique 20 years ago. After that, it was resurrected for a while because of the launch of a free version (remember it was called texaide?, which can be used as a latex formula wysiwyg editor). Later, it was acquired by wiris. The return fees were changed and it was not easy to use, so it was basically finished. I didn't expect that people still use it until now. I feel that many people in the domestic scientific research community like to stay in old software? Another similar software seems to be origin for originlab

Anonymous3741 Apr 12, 2025@ Anonymous9804 Of course, because you can run scripts office closes the support of eps, the alternatives are svg and emf, but the former vector the latter is niche, in short not perfect

Anonymous5823 Apr 12, 2025I didn't understand in the comments. Can Office 365 solve these problems of the original poster? I always use Office 365 for Mac. When entering formulas in word, I use latexlive to edit the latex format and then import it into word. Because there is no Mac version of visio, I usually use drawio to draw and then insert word. I don't know if there is a better solution. There is another problem with office 365 in macOS: it doesn't support python.

Anonymous9804 Apr 12, 2025@ Anonymous3741 Our research group is traditional. It seems that I don't understand why I don't use other formats. Some journal guides basically require graphs to be > 300dpi, and they will also say that it is recommended to use tif. I use it myself because I can set the 300dpi requirement when exporting tif from graphs, so that I can ensure that these problems will not be corrected when submitting manuscripts.
