I. Introduction to MathMagic
MathMagic is an equation editor equipped with the WYSIWYG interface and automatic formatting engine
for editing mathematical expressions and scientific symbols.
MathMagic provides a variety of powerful features to create, edit, and convert equations. With MathMagic,
you can quickly create complex equations and easily use them in other software or documents, enabling you
to create test sheets, educational material, technical documents, research reports with equations, or essays
and presentation slides containing complex symbols and equations. MathMagic equations look beautiful too.
[Image 1-1] MathMagic main interface (MathMagic Pro Edition)
MathMagic Personal Edition is a stand-alone, general-purpose equation editor that is appropriate for
individual users, such as students, teachers, professors, engineers, and so on.
MathMagic Pro Edition for Adobe InDesign comes with MathMagic plug-ins for InDesign, more fonts
and more advanced features for high-end publishers, on top of all the features of MathMagic Personal
Edition. MathMagic Pro Edition offers greater functionality including support for color EPS, various font
settings, and equation form settings that are more precise than those of the Personal Edition. MathMagic
Pro is ideal for professional editing and publishing carried out with desktop publishing software such as
InDesign.

MathMagic Prime Edition is a more professional version for a certain specific target market or some large
publishers, which includes customized features, exclusive symbol fonts, more precise editing features, more
specialized equation forms and default settings for a certain clients, as well as various other features in
addition to the functions of MathMagic Pro Edition.
[Image 1-2] MathMagic equations and MathMagic Plug-in interface in Adobe InDesign
MathMagic Lite Edition is basically a simplified version of MathMagic Personal Edition, which is
available for free. However, it comes with much of the core equation editing features to handle most of
K12 Math and higher education Math. Some features such as equation style conversion, batch conversion
of multiple equations into another format, saving a large sized equation, applying color, may not be
available in MathMagic Lite. Each version may have some different features so please refer to the lateset
ReadMe document or Feature Comparison Table, which is available from the MathMagic.com download
page.
All versions of MathMagic come with an interface that is very intuitive. As such, no matter which version
you use - or even if you are a first-time user - you can easily and conveniently create the desired form of
your equation.
Advanced users can specify various settings including the type and the size of the font, spacing, style, line
thickness, and the shape of equation. All this can be found on the Define Spacing and Define Style settings
dialog box which comes with an intuitive interface and preview support.
Moreover, MathMagic comes with lots of high-quality body text fonts, Greek fonts, and symbols fonts, in
OpenType or TrueType format, offering you the highest quality both in print and on screen.
For other MathMagic products including MathMagic for Mac OS X, please refer to their respective User
Guide or visit us at: www.mathmagic.com

1. Major Features
1.1 Intelligent WYSIWYG Equation Editor

The equation editor in MathMagic faithfully adheres to the WYSIWYG concept. As such, you can enter
and edit the final output on screen with precision. Also, the auto formatting feature automatically specifies
the font arrangement, justification, width, thickness, size, and spacing, eliminating the need for you to
specify each detail one by one while editing the equation.
1.2 Easy-To-Use Interface

With the built-in menu and the palette-based interface, you can easily input and edit complex equations.
Equation templates and symbols are categorized on each palette for quick and easy access. The intuitive
design of the palettes lets you enter complex equations with just a few mouse clicks.
1.3 Total Keyboard Input

Although MathMagic has numerous equation templates and special symbols clearly organized on palettes
by concept for easy mouse access, entering equations may cause frequent switching back and forth between
the mouse and the keyboard. As such, a keyboard-only interface was carefully researched and designed.
Pressing the Control key displays the shortcut key number or alphabet of the item for easy access. Also,
pressing the Tab or Shift-Tab key while holding down the Control key allows you to switch back and forth
between pop-up windows for templates and symbols. It is called Magic Control shortcut key. By using the
Magic Control shortcut key followed by an alphabets of the appropriate item can be used for quick input.
Beginners and experienced users alike can minimize the use of the mouse and quickly enter equations with
only the keyboard, and without memorizing the command keys.
1.4 Support for all kinds of mathematical expressions

MathMagic can produce most equations used anywhere from elementary schools to graduate schools and
beyond. From equations and special characters for Science, Statistics, Accounting, Electronics, Engineering
to many kinds of Chemical equations, MathMagic's capacity defies one's imagination.
1.5 A Variety of High-Quality Fonts

For desktop publishers and advanced users, MathMagic provides a variety of high-quality
OpenType and TrueType fonts designed by professional font designers.
(Fonts available on each application version may vary.)
1.6 Export in SVG, EPS, PDF, TeX, MathML, WMF, PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, and more
Equations can be saved in WMF format, a standard image format for Windows, to be utilized on almost all

Windows applications such as word processors and graphics software. The PNG format, largely used on the
Web, is also supported. Equations can also be saved in SVG, MathML, JPEG or GIF format to publish your
work online so that it can be read on all platforms.
Desktop publishers can make use of MathMagic's Export to EPS feature to insert various complex
equations in books and journals with ease. As well, equations created on MathMagic can be saved in the
TeX format or, for database publishing or web interworking, in the MathML format.
In addition, MathMagic supports a variety of other formats including ASCIIMath, Wiki Equation, and the
Text-To-Speech function which reads the equation aloud. Future versions are expected to support even
more formats.
1.7 Reading Various Formats and Batch Conversion

MathMagic can read equations created in other applications such as MathType, MS Word Equation Editor,
Google Docs, and various equations in LaTeX, Plain TeX, MathML, Wiki Equation, and ASCIIMath, as
well as those various equations formats created in MathMagic itself. This allows you to import equation
contents already created in other places to MathMagic, by Copying and Pasting or by Dragging and
Dropping.
Utilizing MathMagic's support for various equation file formats, you can quickly and easily convert various
formats into other formats in a Batch process. For example, you can convert hundreds or thousands of
equations into EPS or MathML all at once. You can batch convert the font, and its size, in previously
created equations by applying a StyleSet, or automatically assign file names by using naming Macro
options. This greatly improves productivity for customers who edit equations professionally.
1.8 User Item Toolbar and Equation Clips window

MathMagic allows you to define and use a customized palette comprised of frequently used items. The
User Item Toolbar allows you to register the Templates and Symbols you use most frequently out of the
numerous items in MathMagic, increasing the speed of your work. You can access the items listed on User
Items with a keyboard shortcut (Control + Shift + corresponding key).
You can also store frequently used equations on the Clips window. When listed on the Clips window, you
assign shortcut keys with a macro to access the equations quickly and easily. All clip files are stored in the
"MathMagic User Data v7" folder in the My Documents folder under the current User's Documents folder,
and you can share those equation clips with other users if necessary.
1.9 Flexible Custom Settings for Spacing, Style & Size, and StyleSet management
With MathMagic, you can create a unique style for your equations by specifying the spacing between each
element of the equation, the width and the thickness of lines, bracket overhangs, box positions, and more.
You can also specify the font and font sizes of equations, variables, numbers, functions, and Greek
characters. The precision of their specification can reach up to approximately 2,400 dpi, with units
including points (pt), q, millimetres, inches, pica and % (relative to the base font size). All types of spacing,

fonts, style, and size, which you specify, can be saved as a single StyleSet file to be used again at a later
time.
You can create multiple StyleSets in advance depending on the purpose and the shape of the equation,
including test sheets, books, research reports, chemical research papers. You can then apply these settings
instantly to your equations to suit a certain design and layout needs. When working with others, you can
standardize the document styles by sharing the StyleSet files with other users.
You can specify your own equation shapes more accurately with MathMagic. Equation gap, line width and
thickness, overhang, box position, default font and style for Math, Variable, Function, Greek, and tens of
other settings can be customized easily with its visual interface thru the Preferences panel.
All in your preferred units including point, q, mm, inch, pica and %(relative to the base font size). All as
sharp as 2400 dpi accuracy.
1.10 Colored Equation with Customized Colors

MathMagic supports colored equations. You can create your own Color swatches for frequently
used colors on the Colors palette and quickly assign various colors to equation templates and
symbols with ease. MathMagic manages color swatches and user-defined colors as separate styles.
By changing a color in the color style on the Colors palette, you can enjoy the convenience of
changing the specified color in the document all at once. Also, the list of color styles can be shared
with others, offering high productivity for desktop publishers which require a uniform color style
within the same group, or for advanced users.
Colors can be managed in CMYK, RGB, Grayscale or Web color. Spot Color is also supported for
custom colors.

more detailed information on how to use the Template palette, see 'IV. Template Palette and Symbol Palette'
in this User Guide.
In MathMagic, you can enter and edit multiple equations in multiple windows simultaneously. The Editor
window supports a wide-ranging view rate from 100% to 3,200% (except MathMagic Lite), with the default
view rate set at 300%. The default view rate can be specified by the user in the 'Preferences' dilaog. A
higher view rate helps when you wish to adjust the equation more precisely. The current View rate can be
increased by 1%, 10%, or 100%. View rate can also be changed by Mouse-scroll wheel while holding Alt
and Window keys.
• Empty slot: Empty slots are displayed with thin gray lined boxes. The boxes are displayed only until
the actual input. Once an input has been made, the gray box disappears. You can uncheck "Show
Empty Slots" under the View menu to make the empty slots disappear.
• Insertion Point: The Insertion Point or Cursor is made up of a vertical and a horizontal line, and shows
where text, templates and symbols will be inserted in which box.
• Selection: This is an area designated by mouse drag, double-click, quadruple-click or Shift-click. The
selected area is displayed in the inverted color as specified on the computer by the current user. If the
Editor window becomes inactive with an area selected, only the outline of the selected area is displayed
with dotted lines. The selected part of the equation can be copied, deleted, exported, dragged to the
Clips window, or otherwise edited such as by applying a color or a new font size.

The items list and order are saved in a separate preference file(UserItemList.mmd) in the "MathMagic User
Data v7" folder so you need to be careful when you delete MathMagic User Data v7 folder. You can share
this file with others to share your ready-made collections.
1.4 Clips window
[Image 3-4] Clips window
Clips window is a container that saves frequently used equation clips. Making use of the Clips window
helps minimize the bothersome, repetitive input processes.
To add an equation in the Clips window, select an equation from the Editor window and drag it to the Clips

window or press Ctrl + M.
When an equation clip is created, a name is assigned automatically in the following format: [Editor window
title + sequence number]. If you wish to change the name of the clip, right-button click on the equation
using your mouse and select "Rename". Then, enter a new name.
When a clip is double-clicked or it is dragged & dropped in the editing window, the clip is inserted in the
Editor window at the current cursor location.
You can also right-button click on any clip to insert it, to sort them ascending or descending, or to delete it.
MathMagic Windows v7.6 or newer supports user-defined multiple Clips folders.

If you click on the "Default Clips" combo box menu as shown below, it lets you to choose another Clips
folder or manage your Clips folder such as creating new Clips folder or renaming
[Image 3-4a] Clips window - switching multiple clips
The clip files are saved in the 'MathMagic User Data v7' folder, inside the "My Documents" folder of the
current user.
(current user home)\My Documents\MathMagic Equation Editor\MathMagic Pro\MathMagic User Data v7\Clips\
or
(current user home)\My Documents\MathMagic Equation Editor\MathMagic Personal\MathMagic User Data v7\Clips\
Each clip is saved in its own MathMagic Clip format. with the file exteion .MMC. Clip files can be shared
with others, either by copying the Clips folder itself into someone else's system, or by copying a clip into
someone else's PC and then moving it to his/her Clips folder. The newly copied clip will show up in the
Clips window the next time MathMagic is launched.
1.5 Color window
In the Color window in MathMagic, you can create, and manage, desired colors and apply the color in the
selected area of the current editor window. Select the color you want and click "Apply" button on the Color
window, or double-click the color to apply it.

[Image 3-5] Color window and Adding a new Color or ReAssigning Color Value
The Color floating window provides two color style lists, the Application-wide Colors and the Document-
used Colors. Styles included in the Application-wide Colors list can be used across all Editor windows in
the application. Also, by sharing the Color folder in the MathMagic User Data v7 folder with others, you
can share the same list of pre-defined colors. The Document-used Colors list shows, and manages, the
colors being used in the top-most Editor window.
In the Color window, you can create colors in Gray, RGB, CMYK, and Web Color, and, if necessary,
assign Spot colors for color separation output.
Also, you can not only apply colors directly to the equation but select the background color of the entire
equation or a particular slot. There is no default background color applied in MathMagic and it is set to
be transparent. The background color can be set to white if necessary.
MathMagic Personal may have a limited interface for Color.
For more information on colors, please see "VI. 9. Using Colors".
1.6 Palette windows
Template Toolbar and Symbols Toolbar
Template Toolbar
Symbol Toolbar
[Image 3-6] Template toolbar and Symbol toolbar located on top of the Main window

All equation Editor windows have two rows of toolbars, as shown above.
The first row is the Template palette toolbar which contains the icons that represent each template group.
Clicking an icon brings up a pop-up palette containing the templates in that group, as shown in the figure
below.
The second row is the Symbol palette toolbar which contains the icons that represent each symbol group.
Clicking an icon brings up a pop-up palette containing the symbols in that group.
Pop-up Palette
[Image 3-7] A pop-up palette sample when clicked on a Template toolbar button
While the Template palettes and the Symbol palettes are attached to the toolbar by default, they can also be
used as independent floating windows.
When you click a certain item on the palette toolbar, another palette window appears. If you right-button
click, the palette window will be detached and become an independent floating window.
You can detach any palette you want. MathMagic remembers the location of the detached
Template/Symbol palettes and displays it in the last location when the program is launched again.
Press Alt key and click a certain item in the palette window to register it to the User Items Toolbar,
keeping frequently used items together in one place. You can just drag an item from any Template/Symbol
pop-up palette or floating window to the User Items Toolbar as well.

2. Menus
The menus in MathMagic follow the standard Windows interface. You can run or make use of
MathMagic's major functions through the menus.
Shortcut keys are assigned to frequently used menu items, and, thanks to the intuitive menu layout, even
first-time users can get to work quickly.
2.1 File Menu
[Image 3-8] File menu
The File menu consists of items to create new documents and open/save/export/convert/print documents.
Open
You can open equation files in a variety of formats in addition to documents created in MathMagic.
Images saved by MathMagic in .eps, .svg, .wmf, .jpg, .png, .pdf, .bmp and .gif can be opened again in
MathMagic to re-edit the equations.
MathMagic can also open .eps, .pict and .gif formats saved in MathType, as well as other equation-
exclusive formats such as MathML, LaTeX, Plain TeX, Wiki TeX, and ASCIIMath.
Instead of opening a document through the Open command under the File menu, you can alternatively
drag an equation file directly onto the MathMagic application icon or drag & drop it into a MathMagic
editor window to open it.
Save
Documents created in MathMagic are saved in the MathMagic native format by default, with the file

extension .mmf. This MathMagic native .mmf file can be opened in MathMagic for Windows as well as
MathMagic for Macintosh, iOS and Android OS. The MathMagic format, .mmf, is a text-based equation
file format. Its compact file size makes it easier to share it with others, and it is also highly compatible with
across versions of MathMagic, supporting some backword compatiblity as well if you have to open newer
documents in an older version of MathMagic.
When a equation window is first saved, the following Save As dialog will be displayed to let you assign a
file name.
Save As
[Image 3-9] Save / Save As dialog and supported file formats
MathMagic supports a variety of general-purpose formats for higher compatibility when using the edited
equation in other applications or documents.
These formats include graphic formats such as gray EPS, color EPS, PDF, BMP, PNG, SVG, GIF and
JPEG, and some standard math file formats such as MathML, LaTeX, Plain TeX, Wiki, ASCIIMath, and
Speech Texts. More formats are added continuously so please check the latest version if your format is not
listed here.
Please note that the availability of file format options may vary over Personal Edition, Pro Edition and Lite
Edition, or in different versions.
PDF format is supported in MathMagic v7.0 or newer. To save the current equation window in PDF and to
support Font embeding, MathMagic should have TrueType format fonts in the following specific location
for all used fonts in the equation:
MathMagic application folder\MathMagic Fonts\PDF Fonts\
Convert
With MathMagic, you can Batch Convert multiple equation files into a new format at once.
Note: The Batch conversion feature is not available in MathMagic Lite Edition, Demo mode or Evaluation
copies of the software.
Selecting the Convert command displays the dialog box as shown below. Select the file or folder to
convert, choose the format to convert it into, and click 'Convert'. To select multiple files, select files while
holding down the Shift or the Ctrl key. Please note that the number of files that can be converted at once is
limited in MathMagic Personal Edition, and the number may vary depending on the version you are using.
[Image 3-10] Convert dialog
The file types that can be read and the converted formats available are as follows:

[Image 3-11] Read formats and Save As formats in the Convert dialog
The conversion feature can not only convert files from one format to another, but also apply a StyleSet
while maintaining the previous format. This can help user change all fonts and sizes used in the original
equation at the same time.
Simply check "Apply a StyleSet while converting" and select the StyleSet you want. This way, you can
quickly edit equations without having to open each equation file to specify fonts and sizes one at a time.
MS Word Document Conversion

MathMagic allows you to extract all equations contained in MS Word documents or convert them into
other formats such as EPS.
Select "MS Word file (.doc, .docx)" under Read and select the MS Word file. Select the format to convert
the file into, from Save As popup menu, and click "Convert". Of the equation formats contained in the
Word document, MathMagic supports equations created in MathType, MS Equation Editor, MathMagic,
and new MS Equation Editor included in Word 2007 or newer.
If you check "Extract all images from Word file to {DOCNAME}.image folder", all equation images, and
others such as JPEG, in the document are extracted and saved as individual image files in the specified
{DOCNAME}.image folder.
Note: Depending on the version of the MS Word format, and on the type of the equation contained in the
Word document, equation conversion may be not supported. As there is greater compatibility between MS
Word equation conversion and MathMagic for Windows, it is also possible to make the conversion attempt
in MathMagic for Windows and then open the files in Macintosh, especially the original MS Word
document was created with Windows version of MS Word 2007 or newer.
For information on using macros, please see "VI. 2 Using Macros".
Import/Export Options
MathMagic can read and write a variety of formats, and thus provides a one-stop place in which you can
manage the settings necessary to import/read and save equations.
In the Import/Export Options dialog window below, you can specify the conversion options for each major

equation format.
[Image 3-12] Import/Export Options dialog - General settings tab
The "General" tab allows you to specify the Clipboard format, the image size of the equation being
exported out or copied into the clipboard, the format for OLE objects, the resolution PNG, and some options
for EPS. There are also tabs under which you can specify options for reading and saving MathML, TeX and
LaTeX, options tabs for reading MathType, AsciiMath equations, the Speech tab for reading equations out
in a voice, and the "Paths" tab where you can specify the default path for batch conversion and saving files.
The default StyleSet path can also be changed here in the Paths tab. This user-defined StyleSet path is
useful if a team wants to share the same StyleSet files.
For more information, please see "VI. 1. Import/Export Options".

2.2 Edit Menu
[Image 3-13] Edit menu
The Undo and Redo commands can be run multiple times within the limitations of the memory.
The number of available Undo/Redo commands is displayed on the Main Toolbar, as shown
below.
[Image 3-14] Undo / Redo button in the Main Toolbar
With the 'Copy' command, the copied equation can be inserted in a MathMagic document, and in
other applications and documents, with the 'Paste' command. When pasting it in another
application, the equation is in WMF format or OLE format by default. You can also select the
Bitmap or Text based format depending on the formats supported by the application. In addition to
these image formats, equations can be copied in text formats such as LaTeX. You can go to File ->
Import/Export Options -> General to select one or more equation formats that will be saved on the
clipboard. If multiple clipboard formats are turned on, the pasted equation format depends on the
target application as each application has its own preferred format from multiple clipboard
contents.
If the application supports drag & drop, you can also drag the equation directly out of the

MathMagic window. In this case, the equation will be copied only in the WMF format and OLE
format.
The 'Paste' command inserts the content stored on the clipboard at the current cursor location. If
there are various formats stored on the clipboard, MathMagic will paste the most preferred format.
If the equation information created by MathMagic is available, MathMagic will use it first.
Otherwise, MathMagic will convert any LaTeX, Plain TeX, MathML, or MathType equation
information into MathMagic equation. When the clipboard only contains text formats and no
equation expressions, MathMagic will paste the text. In this case, MathMagic will automatically
apply appropriate styles to any numbers, variables and functions in the text, as well as eliminate
any unnecessary spaces.
'Paste as Text' also applies the above equation styles when pasting. However, this command
pastes the character string as-is. It is useful when the spaces need to be preserved.
MathMagic additionally offers format-specific commands such as "Copy as MathML", "Copy as

LaTeX", etc. This is useful for someone who uses the specific format frequently. The "Copy as
Speech Text" command converts the equation into a text of a human reading the equation out loud
in English. If you are learning how to read equations, this is useful when learning the names of
symbols or if you wish to listen to the pronunciation of the equation in a Text-To-Speech
application. Instead of choosing the command from the menu, you can alternatively right-click (or
control-click) on the selected area to bring up the contextual pop-up menu and choose the
command from it.
[Image 3-15] Copy As options from Edit menu and right-button click
"Convert TeX to Equation" is used when you convert a TeX expression entered in the editing
window into an equation. A user who is proficient in using TeX may prefer to enter TeX
commands on the keyboard instead of finding and entering templates and symbols with a mouse.
Enter the TeX beginning symbol (backslash ('\') or '$'), enter a TeX expression, then either select
"Convert TeX to Equation" from the menu or press Shift-Return to automatically convert it into
an equation. If the current row does not contain a TeX beginning symbol such as a backslash ('\')
or a '$', this command is not available.
"Speak Selection" or "Speak All" reads out the part of the equation that is currently selected. You
can use an external, internet-based Text-To-Speech service instead of computer's built-in TTS

function, and you can specify this in File -> Import/Export Options -> Speech tab.
"See Results in Wolfram Alpha" send the current equation to the WolframAlpha web site
(http://www.wolframalpha.com) after converting the equation into WolframAlpha compatible
expression. WolframAlpha web site will show you the result of the equation or the search.
Wolfram|Alpha Pro user or paid subscriber of Wolfram|Alpha service may get some more results.
Select "Template Input follows", or press Ctrl-T, and press the key that corresponds to each
template to insert it. For example, pressing Ctrl-T and then 's' inserts the Sum template, and
pressing Ctrl-T and then 'f' inserts the Fraction template.
Select "Symbol Input follows", or press Ctrl-K, followed by a key that corresponds to each
symbol to insert it. For example, pressing Ctrl-K and then 'i' inserts the infinity ( 3 ) symbol, and
pressing Ctrl-K, followed by 's' key inserts the ' ` ' symbol.
Select "Greek Input follows", or press Ctrl-G, and press an English alphabet key to insert the
Greek letter that corresponds to it. For example, pressing Ctrl-G followed by 'b' inserts beta ( b ),
'w' inserts omega ( ~ ), and 'D' (Shift-D) inserts Delta ( D ).
"Make a Clip" registers the currently selected area into the Clips window. Once registered, the
clip can be used again later. The selected equation can also be dragged into the Clips window
directly.
With the "Register Shortcuts" command, you can define unique shortcuts for items in the Clips
window or on the User Items Toolbar. For more information, please see 'VI. Advanced Features'.
"Use Magic Application key" toggles the Magic Application key option. When it is enabled, a
yellow tooltip is displayed on each icon on the Palette and Symbols Toolbar upon pressing and
holding the Application key or Menu key, usually located between the space bar and right side Ctrl
key. Some keyboards may have this Menu key on the upper right corner or on the right side of
Function key row. Pressing the Application/Menu key and the key displayed in the yellow tooltip
opens up the corresponding palette. Then, release the Application key and press the second tooltip
key to insert the corresponding item. This way, you can enter all templates and symbols without
having to use the mouse and without having to memorize every shortcut combination. For more
information, please see 'VI. 2. Keyboard Shortcuts'.
With 'StyleSet…', you can bundle the equation style, size, form, spacing, etc., specified in
'Preferences' into a single individual StyleSet and manage it as a file. You can prepare multiple
StyleSets depending on the equation style or the editing standards and select them to quickly
change to and from different work environments. For example, in a single textbook, you can have
a StyleSet for the questions, one for the answer keys, and one for the explanations, to manage
various editing styles with ease. All StyleSet files are stored in MathMagic User Data
v7\StyleSets folder. When working with others on the same project, these files can be shared to

establish identical working environments.
User can also specify a network based path for the StyleSet from the File -> Import/Export
Options dialog: Paths tab. This feature is useful if a group of people need to share the same
StyleSet files for a project to have the same StyleSets across computers.
[Image 3-16] StyleSet management dialog
• New: Creates a new StyleSet. Values for the spacing, style, and sizes of the equation which are applied
to the top-most Editor window are saved in the new StyleSet file.
• Reassign: Maintains the name of the StyleSet but applies the spacing, style, and sizes being used in the
top-most Editor window to the StyleSet.
• Rename: Changes the name of the StyleSet that is currently selected.
• Delete: Deletes the StyleSet that is currently selected.
• Make Default: Makes the values in the selected StyleSet the default values. When a new document is
created in the future, these values are applied to it as the default values.
• Preview: Temporarily applies the values of the selected StyleSet to the top-most Editor window.
• Cancel: Closes the StyleSet window without applying the values.
• Apply: Applies the values of the selected StyleSet to the top-most Editor window and closes dialog box.
"Preferences..." dialog has options and settings used globally across the documents in the
application. The default view rate of new editor windows, Cursor moving order, Auto-recovery,
and other Misc options can be set here.
Settings will be application-wide and applied to all MathMagic editor windows.

[Image 3-17] Application-wide Preferences dialog
2.3 View Menu
[Image 3-18] View menu

In the View menu, you can select, or specify, the view rate of the Editor window between 100% and
3,200%. 100% displays the equation in its actual size, based on the screen resolution of 72 dpi. On a newer
monitor with higher screen resolution or smaller dot pitch, the equation may look somewhat smaller than on
print. The current view rate is marked with a check mark. The view rate is also displayed at the bottom-left
corner of the Editor window. The default view rate can be changed with "Default View Rate for Editor
Window" under the Misc tab in the Preferences dialog.
Shift-PageUp or Shift-PageDown changes the view rate by the increment of 100%.
View rate can also be changed by Mouse-scroll wheel while holding Alt-Windows keys(by 100%) or Alt-
Windows-shift keys(by 10%).
'Refresh' re-draws the contents in the current Editor window. When editing a complex equation,
afterimages may remain on the screen in a rare case. Selectubg 'Refresh' removes such clutter from the
screen. 'Refresh' can be run with the the following button on the Main Toolbar.
'Show Controls' displays space and alignment base control characters.
"Show Empty Slots" displays places on the template where values can be entered. This is an aid to identify
where values can be entered because it is difficult to see where they can be entered when no values have
been entered yet. The outline of the empty slots are not displayed in the final equation even if "Show
Empty Slots" is on.
"Show Nesting Level" is useful in identifying the extent of each section, and which template it belongs to,
when editing equations. This is only an on-screen aid to help the editing process. Nesting levels are not
displayed in the final equation, even if 'Show Nesting Level' is enabled.
Commands such as 'Show Baselines', 'Show Bounds', and 'Show Center Lines' can be used when you need
to edit the equation precisely while verifying its size, gap, position, or other attributes.

When an element in the equation is moved precisely using the Nudge function, 'Show Nudged Parts' shows
the original standard location and where it has moved to. The original standard location is shown in dotted
red lines, and the final location is shown in solid red lines.
'Show Max. Width Margin' is only available when the "Max. Width Margin" value is specified in
Preferences -> Spacing as shown below. If the width of the page or the paragraph of the document that is
being edited is limited, specifying this value displays red margins in the Editor window. Also, if the width
of the equation that is being edited exceeds this maximum value, an alert is displayed, allowing the user to
be mindful of the width of the equation.
If 'Insert Baseline when Exporting' is enabled, the baseline is shown in a red line in the exported equation.
By displaying the baseline, you can manually align the baseline with ease when you bring the equation into
a different document and edit it along with texts. For the final output, you must replace this equation with
one without the baseline.
If you only wish to view the baseline value without visually verifying the baseline, you can also view it in

the Size floating window as shown below.
[Image 3-19] Baseline displacement value in Size info window
Please note that MathMagic Personal Edition does not store the baseline info in EPS format.
2.4 Style Menu
[Image 3-20] Style menu
'Font...' allows you to change the font of the selected equation. The new font is only applied to the
regular texts, not to the templates and symbols. This is mainly because many MathMagic specific symbols
and templates are not available from other fonts than the specially designed symbol fonts.

[Image 3-21] Font menu
For regular alphanumeric characters in the equation, you can use all fonts installed on the system by default.
However, if changing the font alters the shape or the meaning of the equation (such as symbols and Greek
letters), MathMagic may ignore the font you have selected in preference to the basic style specified in the
equation engine. For more information, please refer to Style below.
OpenType and TrueType fonts are recommended for MathMagic. When saving the equation in EPS,
bitmap and Type 1 postscript fonts are not supported in EPS format, although they may work on the
equation editor window and other bitmap based formats such as PNG or BMP.
Math Default
'Math Default' applies the default equation style to the selected area. This is useful when ignoring the size
and font information specified by the user and returning to the default style as specified in Equation
Preferences -> Style tab.
Function
'Function' applies the function style to the selected area. When entering an equation, MathMagic
automatically recognizes the predefined function names such as sin, cos, log, etc. and assigns the function
style automatically, as specified in Equation Preferences -> Style tab.
If MathMagic does not properly recognize a function, or if you wish you apply the function style to a
selection manually, select the applicable area and apply this command. You can change the default function
style under the 'Style' tab in Equation Preferences.
Here are some of the predefined Function names currently recognized by MathMagic.
Im, Pr, Re, arccos, arcsin, arctan, arg, bmod, cos, cosec, cosh, cot, coth, cov, csc, deg, det,
dim, exp, gcd, glb, hom, imz, inf, injlim, int, ker, lg, lim, liminf, limsup, ln, log, max, min,
mod, pmod, projlim, rez, sec, sin, sinh, sup, tan, tanh, varinjlim, varliminf, varlimsup,
varprojlim

Automatic recognition of Function names can be turned off by unchecking Style -> Auto Apply Style ->
Function.
Variable
'Variable' applies the variable style to the selected area. You can change the default variable style under the
'Style' tab in Equation Preferences. Automatic setting of Variable style can be turned off by unchecking
Style -> Auto Apply Style -> Variable.
Number
'Number' applies the number style to the selected area. You can change the default number style under the
'Style' tab in Equation Preferences. Automatic setting of Number style can be turned off by unchecking
Style -> Auto Apply Style -> Number.
Text
'Text' applies the body text style to the selected area. You can change the default text style under the 'Style'
tab in Equation Preferences.
User 1 and User 2

This will apply User 1 or User 2 style to the selection. This can be customized from the Style tab of
Equation Preferences window. This is useful if there are frequently used styles for a certain tasks.
Plain
'Plain' applies the plain font style to the selected area.
Bold
'Bold' applies the bold font style to the selected area.
Italic
'Italic' applies the italic font style to the selected area.
Bold Italic
'Bold Italic' applies the bold italic font style to the selected area.
Plain/Bold Large Symbol

For large symbols used in a certain templates, such as integral symbols or sigma, you can apply the bold
style by clicking on the large symbol while holding down the Alt key and applying this command. If the
symbol is already bold, you can change it to the plain style.
These symbols, built into the template itself, cannot be selected with a regular drag of the mouse. They can
only be selected with Alt-click on the exact Symbol itself.

More TeX Style
Frequently used in TeX or LaTeX, this style requires additional fonts (MMaFermat, MMaPascal,
MMaFraktur) provided in MathMagic.
MathMagic only supports bold and italic font faces as other faces are not commonly used in equations.
However, the outline-style Blackboard font used in equations and other fonts for LaTeX are provided in
MathMagic. Please see "More TeX Style" above.
Define Styles...
This will bring up the Style tab in the Equation Preferences dialog window.
Auto Apply Styles...
User can turn on or off the automatic style setting feature of MathMagic engine. Once turned on,
MathMagic engine automatically parses the context and applies its default style as you type in. All options
are turned ON by default.
If you turn off Function, for example, when you type in 'cos', MathMagic will not change its style to
Function style although it is a function name.
MathMagic Personal Edition may not support some of these options.

2.6 Format Menu
[Image 3-25] Format menu
With the 'Format' menu, you can specify the alignments, row spacing, and positioning of the equation
elements, and other adjustments. Each menu item becomes available depending on the current Cursor
location, Template type and the attribute of the equation element, allowing you to easily identify which
menu item is applicable.
Align Left, Align Center, Align Right

These commands determine the alignment of equations that either compose a matrix or are made up of

multiple rows. The current alignment is marked with a check mark. If the equation element with the cursor
is composed of a single row, Align Left/Align Center/Align Right commands are dimmed.
Align at = ≠ < ≤ ... (Relational Operators)

When there are relational operators in each row, such as equality signs and inequality signs, this command
aligns all rows at the first relational operator. Rows with no relational operators are not aligned.
Align All Lines at = ≠ < ≤ ... (Relational Operators)

When there are relational operators in each row, such as equality signs and inequality signs, this command
aligns all rows at the first relational operator. Rows with no relational operators are aligned so that the
beginning of the row is aligned at the first relational operator of the rows that do contain relational
operators. (See figure below)
Align at . and Align at ,

'Align at .' is mainly used to align multiple rows of numbers with decimal points. In countries where
commas are used in the place of decimal points, such as in Europe, use the 'Align at ,' command.
Define Spacing...
'Define Spacing...' opens the Spacing tab in Preferences dialog. For more details, please see "VI. 5.
Advanced Features - Define Spacing".
Define Line Spacing for This Line...

With "Define Line Spacing for This Line...", you can define the leading space and the trailing space of the
row with the cursor on it. The minimum spacing between rows follows the value specified under "Line
Spacing & Box Property" in Preferences -> Spacing.
The leading space and the trailing space can range from -127 pt to 127 pt. If you set the line gap to 0 and
specify a small value for the leading space, you can make two rows overlap partially or fully.
[Image 3-26] Leading & Trailing Space for the current line; Min. Line gap in Spacing dialog
Nudge
'Nudge' allows you to move the selected equation element with precision, or move the nudged elements

selection at 1/32 pt precision, approximately 2,400 dpi.
For more details on using the Nudge floating window, please read "III. 6. Nudge Floating Window and Size
Floating Window".

Line between Boxes
When creating an equation with two rows or more, you can add a horizontal line between the rows. This is
useful when you are working with a vertical multiplication equation with multiple rows, a vertical division
equation, or a table with horizontal lines. You can insert the line above or below the row and specify its
width as well.
[Image 3-28] Line between Boxes sub-menu & Horizontal line examples
If there is already a line, the menu item changes to "Delete Line". The "Line Below" of the above row is
the same as the "Line Above" of the current row. Whether you insert a line below the above row or insert a
line above the current row, you will get the same result.

be used across all documents edited in MathMagic, and to the right is the "Document-used Colors" which
are assigned to the current top-most document and can only be used in that document.
By clicking the left/right arrows ( ), you can move colors listed under "Application-wide Colors" to
"Document-used Colors", or vice-versa, so that the document colors can be used in other documents.
You can create and assign a new color by clicking "New". This brings up the following dialog box:

[Image 3-54] New Color window
You can assign a name to the color in "Color Name". The name cannot contain a ceretain characters such as
',', '(', and ')'. (Comma and fences)
Under "Color Mode", you can select RGB, CMYK, Grayscale or Web color(RGB). Web color is basically
a RGB based color information but supports predefined Web color names and handles the color values in
Hexa-decimal format. Each selection displays a set of fields to enter the color values manually, as shown
below.
[Image 3-55] Color Modes and Vaule input fields
In the case of RGB and CMYK, you can assign Spot colors for color separations when exporting to EPS.
You can also specify overprinting for a particular color for clearer printing depending on the background
color of the output material.
When you return to the Color floating window, you can click "Reassign" to modify the color name, the
color value, and spot colors. Once modified, the change is applied to all areas in the document that use the
corresponding color.
You can click "Delete" to delete the colors from the list one by one. However, if the color to be deleted is

currently being used in some places in the document, it will not be deleted. In this case, you can apply a
different color to the places to which the color in question has been applied, and then delete the color.
Clicking "Apply" applies the selected color to the selection in the Editor window. If there is no selection in
the document, the selected color is applied to the current cursor location, applying the color to the
mathematical expression that is inserted there. You can also apply the color to the equation by double-
clicking the color name from the list.
Background Colors
Clicking the "Apply Box Background" applies the color selected from the list to the box that contains the
cursor. This color is not applied to equation characters, symbols or lines, but to the entire box as its
background color. As such, only one background color can be assigned to one box. If the cursor is placed
in a box to which a background color is already assigned, the button changes to "Remove Box
Background".
If an equation has only one box and a background color is assigned to the box, it may look like the color has
been applied to the entire equation. However, if the equation margin is specified, the background color is
not applied to the margins. To achieve the desired result, you must use "Apply Full Background" below
"Apply Box Background".
If you wish to apply a background color only to a certain section of a box, you can separate the line by
inserting a new input box template from the following template palette.
彩彩彩彩彩彩彩彩(applying a different background color in the same line) 彩
Clicking "Apply Full Background" applies the color selected from the list to the entire equation document
as its background color. This color is not applied to equation characters, symbols or lines, but to the entire
box as its background color. As such, only one background color can be assigned to one box.
If a color is already assigned to the entire equation, the button changes to "Remove Full Background".
Sharing Colors
The list of colors assigned to the "Application-wide Colors" in the Color window is saved in the following
location:
(MathMagic 彩Application 彩folder)\MathMagic 彩User 彩Data 彩v7\Color\UserDefaultColor
So, when editing a book, for example, you can first create a list of colors to be used throughout the project,
and then copy and share the above color profile with others to maintain uniformity among project workers.

7.4 Two-Step Shortcuts for Entering Templates, Symbols and Greek Characters
Compared to the number of templates, symbols and Greek characters available in MathMagic, the number
of keyboard shortcut combinations is limited. To address this issue, MathMagic provides two-step
keyboard shortcuts in order to help you enter characters using only the keyboard as much as possible.
This feature is supported by "Template Input follows (Ctrl-T)", "Symbol Input follows (Ctrl-K)", and
"Greek Input follows (Ctrl-G)" under the Edit menu.
For example, pressing Ctrl-T prepares the system for a template input. You can then press 'a' to insert a
Vector template with an arrow. Or, pressing Ctrl-T and then 'd' inserts a division template.
In the case of symbols, pressing Ctrl-K prepares the system for a symbol input. You can then press '-' to
input a symbol. Or, pressing Ctrl-T and then 'i' inserts the infinity ( ) symbol.
The following is a list of double-step shortcuts for entering symbols:
In the case of Greek characters, pressing Ctrl-G prepares the system for a Greek character input. You can
then press 'b' to enter a beta ( ). Most Greek letters are connected to the corresponding upper case and
lower case Roman script keys, such as 'p' for pi ( ) and 'w' for omega ( ).
For more comprehensive listing of the three types of shortcuts shown above, please read "Appendix I.
Shortcuts".
7.5 Keys for Editing
The general editing keys, such as arrow keys, shift-arrow combinations, PageUp / PageDown, and Home /
End, can be used in the Editor window to move the cursor or select and edit mathematical expressions.
Keyboard Behavior
shift-click If you click the mouse while holding down shift key, it selects the contents
between the previous cursor location and the clicked point. This works on
multiple lines.
Alt-click If you click the mouse while holding down option key, it selects the contents
from the beginning of the box to the clicked point. If clicked on a fence, integral
symbol, root template, accent, fraction line, or any large symbol or variable
symbol, MathMaigc selects the component. Then, Nudge and Color can be
applied to the selection.

improvement.

8. Import & Export
When a file is saved through the Save command under the File menu, equation documents created in
MathMagic are saved in the MathMagic native format in order to maintain the precise equation
information.
This MathMagic native format comes with the extension, .mmf. The contents of this format are flexible.
It is text-based like MathML and LaTeX, allowing you to change the extension to .txt to view or edit the
contents, or save them in a DB easily, if necessary.
(Please direct all inquiries regarding the MathMagic file format license to [email protected].)
8.1 Save As
For compatibility with other applications and documents in mathematical expression data, MathMagic
supports a variety of formats in which to save files.
• General-Purpose Image Formats: SVG, BMP, EPS, PDF, PNG, JPEG, GIF, WMF
• Mathematical Expressions Format: LaTeX, MathML, Plain TeX, Wiki TeX, AsciiMath, AsciiMathML
• Other Modified Formats: Text-To-Speech (Math-To-Speech), Google Docs, Zoho, Wolfram Alpha, URL
TeX
Note: Some Export options are not available in MathMagic Personal Edition.
If you wish to save the file in one of the above formats to use the equation in another application or
document, go to File -> Save As and select the format you want.

Most of the formats above also embed the MathMagic native data to allow the files to be edited again later
in MathMagic. If the files are to be accessed mainly with MathMagic in the future, saving the files in the
MathMagic format (.mmf) or as clips in the Clips window will be more convenient and space-efficient.
Alternatively, you can use the clipboard to move the equation to another application. While the format of
the equation saved on the clipboard is WMF and OLE by default, you can also go to File -> Import/Export
Options and select the format under 'Clipboard format'.
Also, the image size of equations to be exported or saved on the clipboard can be set to 50% ~ 800% in the
above dialog box, by 1% increment.
8.2 Open / Import
When a file is saved in MathMagic, the MathMagic native equation data is also embeded in the following
formats. This allows the equation to be displayed and edited again if the file is later re-opened in
MathMagic.
• File formats that embed MathMagic native data: EPS, PDF, PNG, JPEG, GIF, MathML, LaTeX,
OLE, WMF (Windows Meta File)
However, if the equation is edited in another application and saved there, the MathMagic-exclusive data
may be erased, in which case you may not be able to edit the equation again in MathMagic. Therefore, if
there is a need to edit the equation in MathMagic in the future, it is recommended that you create a backup
copy of the original file.
Even without the MathMagic native data included, the following equation files can be imported:
• File formats that MathMagic can open or import: MathML, LaTeX, Plain TeX, AsciiMath, Wiki
TeX, Google Docs(LaTeX), Zoho(LaTeX), TTS text, MathType, MS Equation Editor/MS Word
Equation

However, please note that the imported result may not be same as the original. Some equations or symbols
may not be imported.
You can import equation files in the following ways:
• Go to File -> Open and open the file directly

• Drag the file directly onto the MathMagic application icon, or
• Drag the equation contained in a document or on a webpage (such as a Wiki website page) directly onto
the MathMagic Editor window
• Paste the format copied into the clipboard directly onto the MathMagic Editor window (LaTeX, Plain
TeX, MathML, AsciiMath, MathType, MathMagic equations)
If a certain symbols or the style of the converted equation are not displayed correctly after importing,
selecting the entire equation and applying the 'Math Default' style under the Style menu may improve the
quality.
Import/Export settings can be specified in File -> Import/Export Options.
For more details, please read "VI. 1. Import/Export Options".
9. Printing
MathMagic only offers the basic printing features for the current Editor window.
MathMagic has been developed focusing on the interface by which user can quickly and easily create
equations and on the features by which users can save the high-quality equations in a variety of formats.
Since the main focus of the software is to bring the equations to other layout or publishing software, word
processors, and other document editing software, presentation software, and web documents, MathMagic
does not additionally provide pagination features such as margin and paragraph settings or document sizes,
or independent printing features such as printing adjustment for large equations that span multiple pages.
This means, MathMagic only supports the basic printing features that come with the OS. If more printing
options are required, it is recommended to export the equation to a word processor or a layout application
and edit it there to fit the layout.
The current version of MathMagic does not support pagination for multiple page contents.

10. Using MathMagic Pro with Adobe® InDesign™
MathMagic Pro Edition for InDesign is best suitable for desktop publishers who work with high-resolution
mathematical equations and scientific symbols in Adobe InDesign, although it can be widely used with
other applications and documents.
MathMagic Pro Edition for InDesign is composed of the following:

• MathMagic Pro InD application
• MathMagic plug-ins for Adobe InDesign
• MathMagic fonts
The MathMagic plug-in provides a user interface to create, edit and manage the equation in InDesign. This
plug-in also works together with MathMagic Pro application, bringing the equations created in MathMagic
Pro to the InDesign document where it is saved. With the MathMagic plug-in, you can create or edit
equations within the InDesign document, without having to manually import or export to and from
InDesign.
When you enter an equation in MathMagic Pro and save it to InDesign, the MathMagic plug-in in InDesign
receives it. MathMagic plug-in then inserts it as an in-line graphic in a text box or as a floating picture
image in a graphic box depending on the cursor location. Equations inserted in a document in this manner
can be double-clicked to be edited at any time.
Because the MathMagic plug-in automatically recognizes the baseline of the equation when inserted in a
text box, the inline equation automatically lines up with the baseline of the normal text. However, this
feature is not available for some 2-byte versions of InDesign, such as Korean or Japanese versions of
InDesign because InDesign's built-in 2-byte engine has some other default alignment options. If you
frequently use in-line equations and require automatic baseline alignment, the English version of InDesign
is recommended, or use the English Composer settings for the text box.
10.1 Installation & Settings
Please refer to the Installation Guide or ReadMe First file provided in the MathMagic Pro installer(or disk
image) and install the necessary components, including the correct version of MathMagic Plug-in under
\InDesign CSx\Plug-ins folder.
Although it may vary depending on the product type and version, the following components must be
installed in the following locations if you run the installer with the default setting:
• MathMagic Pro Edition folder -> C:\Program Files\ folder (on x86 system)

-> C:\Program Files (x86)\ folder (on 64-bit Windows)
• a correct MathMagic Plug-in -> InDesign CSx\Plug-ins folder
(The MathMagic Plug-in should be manually copied and installed to the above path)
• MathMagic Fonts -> C:\Windows\Fonts folder
• Some other components and DLLs -> C:\Windows\system32 folder
Once these basic files are installed, it is recommended to restart your computer so that all the new fonts are
available to other applications and printer drivers.
Then, manually copy the correct version of InDesign plug-in (for example, InDesign CS6)
• C:\Program Files (x86)\MathMagic Pro Edition\Plug-ins folder\MathMagic CS6 folder
and paste it into the following InDesign's Plug-ins folder.

\InDesign CS6\Plug-ins folder
NOTE: Please make sure that you copy the whole MathMagic CS6 folder itself, not the files from inside
MathMagic CS6 folder. This applies to InDesign CS5 plug-in and CS5.5 plug-in as well.
Then, run InDesign application. If MathMagic Plug-in is installed and loaded correctly, 'Plug-ins' menu will
be inserted in the InDesign menubar. Then, select Plug-ins -> MathMagic -> Preferences to display the
Preferences dialog. Specify the path for MathMagic Pro application and other settings from the following
dialog. Click 'OK' when done.

10.2 Creating Equations
There are four ways to insert an equation in your Adobe InDesign document.
• Select "Plug-Ins -> MathMagic -> New Equation" menu command

• Click and select the summation button ( ) at the bottom of InDesign's Main Toolbar, and create
an equation box in the InDesign document by dragging a rectangle where you'd like to insert an
equation.
• Bring up the contextual pop-up menu with right-button click on your mouse, and select the "New
Equation" command.
• Save the equation as EPS format from MathMagic Pro application, 'File -> Export' menu. Switch
to InDesign document and select 'File -> Place' menu command in InDesign to import it into a
graphic box in your InDesign document.

For example, to create an equation in a text box in your InDesign document, follow the following steps:
• Launch Adobe InDesign application.

• Create a new InDesign document or open an existing document.
• Set the current cursor where you'd like insert an equation.
• Go to 'Plug-ins -> MathMagic' submenu and select "New Equation".
This opens an equation editor window in MathMagic Pro application.
Enter the equation in the MathMagic editor window. Once entered, either Save (ctrl-S) the equation or
Close (ctrl-W) the window. The equation will be automatically saved and displayed in the InDesign
document.
If the cursor is inside a text box, the equation appears as in-line graphic (ILG) at the current cursor location.
Otherwise, the equation is inserted as EPS graphic in a picture box near the current cursor location or where
you click.
NOTE: The Display Quality of inserted equation images in InDesign document will be controlled by InDesign's
preference. Higher resolution can be selected from View -> Display Performance submenu (for the current
document), right-button click on an equation -> Dispaly Performance (for the selected equation), or from InDesign
application menu -> Preferences dialog (globally). For more details, please refer to the InDesign User Guide.
10.3 Editing Equations
Once an equation has been created, you can edit it in the following manner:
• To edit a selected equation, run the 'Edit Equation' command from the Plug-ins -> MathMagic menu or
double-click the equation box. This launches MathMagic Pro(if not readily running) and opens the
equation in the equation editor window. If the cursor has not changed to an arrow, press Ctrl and Alt
keys together while double-clicking. If the cursor has been changed into an arrow, you can right-click the
equation to bring up the 'Edit Equation' contextual menu.
• The baseline in all equations are aligned automatically (2-byte versions of InDesign do not support this).
You can raise or lower the baseline in the following manner:
- Select the arrow cursor and move the equation box to the desired position.
- Bring up the contextual menu by right-clicking and select 'Shift Baseline'.
- Select the equation box and select 'Shift Baseline' under the Plug-ins -> MathMagic sub menu.

10.4 Managing Equations
If set to default in Plug-in -> MathMagic -> Preferences, an equation object created with the MathMagic plug-
in is saved in the EPS format in the '(document name).eqdb' folder, which is located in the same folder as
the InDesign document in which the equation is inserted. If you specify a different location in the
Preferences dialog box, the EPS file is saved in the specified location.
If you have specified in the Preferences dialog box for the equation to be Embedded in the InDesign
document, the working equation is temporarily saved in the '(document name).eqdb' in EPS. When the
InDesign document is saved or closed, all equations are embedded in the InDesign document. If "Delete
external equation EPS files from ..." checkbox is checked from the Preferences dialog, all EPS files
temporarily saved in the said folder are deleted when the document is closed.
Thereafter, all equations are automatically managed by Adobe InDesign whether embeded or linked.
However, if the equations are set to be saved in, and linked from, another location instead of being
embedded, the (document name).eqdb folder must be copied along with the InDesign document when
copying an InDesign document that contains the equations.
If the link to the EPS equation inserted in the InDesign document is broken, go to InDesign menubar ->
Windows -> Link, launch the 'Link' floating window, and Update the link.
If you wish to extract all equations from an InDesign document, you can go to "Plug-in -> MathMagic ->
Export All Equations". This saves all equations with an external link, as well as embedded equations, in the
specified folder. This is useful when the equations need to be managed separately, or a new StyleSet needs
to be applied across the equations to modify the fonts and sizes all at once. MathMagic Pro -> File ->
Convert dialog can be used to batch convert or batch apply a new StyleSet to all the equations.

If the InDesign document is to be printed at a printing house, applicable files are sometimes bundled into a
single package file by going to 'File -> Package'. In this case, the EPS equation files are also included in
the package file. Depending on the circumstances (such as when the name of the InDesign document or the
path to the EPS files contain special characters), the path to the EPS files need to be modified. Also, the
fonts used in the EPS files may need to be installed separately on the system in which the package file is
decompressed.
Sending a package file may caused some unexpected result because equation links are all reset. Please pay
more attention before you print if you have received equations in a package.
It is possible to share InDesign documents containing MathMagic equations with other Windows users.
However, when sending the InDesign document to other users, the .eqdb folder must be sent also, if any. If
the links are broken when sending the files, go to 'Windows -> Link' from InDesign menubar and update the
broken links. When a Windows file is accessed in Mac OS X, the EPS files are sometimes not recognized
properly. When this happens, make sure the files are not too large in size and try changing the file type to
'EPSF' manually.

IV. Template palettes and Symbol palettes
1. Template palettes
As shown in the figure below, a template is a pre-defined arrangement of symbols and input slots for equation
elements.
To create a mathematical expression, select the desired template from the palette and enter the appropriate numbers or
characters. The following is an example of the summation template.
Empty slots
Templates generally come with one or more empty input slots. To enter information, you can click the applicable slot,
or move the cursor by pressing Tab.
The items on the Template palette toolbar are as follows:
Fences
Fractions
Subscripts and Superscripts
Primes and Accents
Lines
Radicals
Integrals
Summation
Product & Set Theory
Overscripts & Underscripts.

Bars, Arcs, Braces, Brackets.
Vectors and Arrows.
Labelled Arrows.
Matrix.
Frames.
Spaces.
Phantom.
Alignment.
The following is a detailed description of each template category.

1.1 Fences
This template set provides pairs of symbols called 'Fences' which surround
certain mathematical expressions or signs.
Although you can type in (), { } or [ ] from the keyboard, this way inserts
fences as regular characters rather than as templates. In this case, the automatic
resizing feature of the fence is unavailable. The difference between the fences
template and fences as regular characters entered with the keyboard is this:
[ 23 ]: The bracket are characters typed in by keyboard.
x -1
3
; 2 E: The bracket is a Fence template.
x -1
Although symmetrical fences templates are mainly used, MathMagic also

provides fences templates with a single fence, combinations, or templates with
vertical lines only.
The height and spacing of fences can be specified in Preferences -> Spacing ->
Fences & Vertical Bars.
If you wish to adjust the height of the fences manually, go to Format -> Fence
Adjustment.
If the height of the equation within the fences exceeds a certain point, the fences
are extended with vertical lines. You can go to Preferences -> Spacing to
specify the point at which the vertical lines are inserted.

1.2 Fractions
This palette provides templates for creating fractions, including diagonal,

horizontal and vertical fractions.
and are used to create full-size and reduced-size fractions
respectively. The numerator and the denominator of reduced-size fractions are
close to the fraction line, displayed in the subscript size. You can specify the
fraction spacing, the width and the thickness of the line in Preferences.
y y week
x x day
1.3 Superscripts and Subscripts
This palette creates templates for superscripts and subscripts. Since superscripts
and subscripts typically come after a character or a symbol, this template does
not provide the main slot. Rather, the superscript or the subscript is attached
behind the current cursor location, that is, the character or template directly
before the placement of the superscript or the subscript.
If you wish to add a superscript or a subscript to multiple character strings or
large symbols, use the "1.7 Underscript & Overscript" template.
1.4 Accents, Primes, Hats, Bars
Primes, hats, bars, and dots are sometimes used to emphasize a certain
mathematical variable and distinguish it from others. These accents can also be
used in combinations of special European characters.
This template inserts these elements above, or to the left or to the right of, the
character before the cursor. These can be inserted multiple times as needed.
However, their locations change slightly depending on the order in which they

are inserted.
Click the first icon to remove all applied accents from the character where
the cursor is located behind. You can also use the delete key (Backspace) to
remove it one by one.
aqpo ao l asrl
You can specify the height of the prime symbols and the minimum space
between the base character and the accents in Preferences -> Spacing tab.
1.5 Lines
These templates are used to insert horizontal lines, X-shaped lines, slashes and
backslashes through a character or a character string/slot.
The top row is used for inserting a line on a single character, and the bottom
row is used for inserting a line through an entire slot.
The thickness of the lines and the overhang gap can be specified in Preferences
-> Spacing.
1.6 Radicals and Vertical Divisions
This palette provides templates for radicals. The gap between the radical and
the contents inside and outside the symbol can be specified in Preferences ->
Spacing.
You can also select 'Template Alignment' under the 'Format' menu to align
multiple radical symbols. However, this menu item is only available when the
cursor is inside the radical or right after a radical template.
Frequently used Cube root and Quad root are also predefined.
Reversed Squareroot and Indexed root are also supported in MathMagic v7.3 or
newer, for the right-to-left writing countries in the Middle-East.
Vertical
Although they are not radicals, vertical division, reversed vertical division, and
angle division templates are also available on the same palette.

1.7 Integrals
This palette contains forty different types of integral templates including single,
double and triple integrals. To create Variable height integrals, click an
integral template while holding down Shift key. This will automatically adjust
the height of the integral symbol depending on the content inside it. (See figures
below)
n ax
3
# Dx # Dx 彩彩彩 ) by 彩彩彩
0
0
cz
If the height of a variable integral symbol exceeds a certain point, the symbol is
extended with a straight, vertical line in the middle. You can specify the point
at which the vertical line is inserted in Preference-> Spacing.
1.8 Summations
These templates allow you to create various sum symbols. You can use single
summation templates repeatedly to enter multi-level summation symbols like
the following:
The last item is not a template but a sum symbol. Because this symbol is used
rather frequently, it is provided on this palette for the purpose of convenience.
1.9 Products and Set-Theory
These templates are used to create products, coproducts, and set-theoretic

intersections and unions.

1.10 Underscripts and Overscripts
This palette provides templates for underscripts and overscripts. Unlike '1.3
Superscripts and Subscripts' which are attached to an existing character before
the cursor, underscripts and overscripts come with a main slot to enter a
mathematical expression, or a character string, as the base.
On the first row, the font size of the main slot is the full size. On the second
and the third row, the font size of the main slot is set up for large symbols.
The right-most templates on the first and the second rows that contain only
empty input slots ( ) are useful when creating a separate section in the
current row of the equation. The first icon is for full-sized characters, and the
second for large symbols. For example, if you wish to assign a background
color to a certain section in an equation, you can insert an empty slot and assign
a background color at the bottom of the Color window, as shown in the
following:
If you wish to attach a superscript or a subscript to a single character or symbol,

use the '1.3 Superscript and Subscript' templates. These templates do not
include base slots.
1.11 Bars, Arcs, Braces and Brackets
These templates are used to insert bars, arcs, braces and brackets above or
below a certain mathematical expression. They can also be inserted repeatedly
to apply multiple brackets.
The two angle bracket templates to the right of the bottom row do not stretch
out even when the length of the input slots are increased.
1.12 Vectors and Arrows
These templates are used to insert vectors, or to insert arrows above or below a
mathematical expression.
The length of the arrow is automatically adjusted as the input slot becomes
longer. Also, you can select the arrow template twice to insert arrows above
and below the input slot simultaneously.
The shape of the arrowhead can be changed in Preferences -> Shape.

1.13 Labeled Arrows
These templates are used to express the convergence of number sequences or

the property of functions. See the following for an example:
f n (x) uniformly f (x), f: X onto Y
1.14 Matrix
You can use the Matrix templates to create matrix equations, period tables,
vector arithmetic operations and tables.
The templates on the bottom row are used to create variable matrices, or tables.
Selecting these templates bring up the following Matrix Setting window. Here,
you can specify the number of rows and columns, as well as the alignment.
In the Matrix Setting window, you can also insert lines between rows and
columns. Click and drag the mouse where you wish to specify the line. To
delete the line, click the line again. You can also apply a color to the line.
Please refer to VI. 8. Custom Matrix section for more details.
This feature is very useful when creating a table or mathematical expressions
like the following:

3 2
# 12
6 4 (This example uses the MMTextBook font for elementary schools.)
3 2
3 8 4
You can go to Preferences -> Spacing -> Matrix to specify row spacing, column
spacing and line thickness.
The row and column alignment can also be specified after the matrix is created.
You can go to the 'Format' menu to align left/center/right, or go to the 'Matrix
Reloaded' sub-menu to align the rows top/bottom/baseline. You can also add
or remove rows and columns from the sub-menu.
Templates on the bottom row adds dotted connection in-between.
1.15 Frames
You can use these templates to create various kinds of frames including squares.
The frame thickness, the gap between the frame and the empty slot, etc. can be
specified in Preferences -> Spacing.
You can also adjust the width of the empty frame box by entering spaces. To
maintain the height of each frame box regardless of the content character, you
can use the Phantom templates.
If the last item is selected ( ), the following dialog will show up to let you
select many more Frame types and Corner shapes.

1.16 Spaces
The templates on the Spaces palette have no input slots. Instead, they insert
spaces of a specified width at the current cursor location. Whereas pressing the
space bar inserts a space of pre-defined width, you can freely insert spaces of
user-defined width. This is useful when adjusting the location of a
mathematical expression or the spacing. These Spaces templates are commonly
used in adjusting the spacing of characters and templates, or in supplementing
the Alignment templates.
The spaces on the first row are of the Em variety, which use the width of the
upper case 'M' of the base font of the equation. From 1/16 to full-size, a total of
7 Em based spaces are available.
The spaces on the second row are based on the default Full width specified in
Preferences -> Size for the current equation. For example, if the specified Full-
size is 12 pt, clicking the Full-size space on the far right inserts a space of 12 pt,
whereas clicking the 1/4 size inserts a space of 3 pt (12 pt /4). If the default size
is changed from 12 pt to 10.5 pt, the spaces previously entered are also reduced
at the same ratio. If you need spaces with Absolute width, you must take
caution. To enter spaces with absolute width, insert spaces from the third or the
fourth row. The width of these spaces are fixed regardless of the change in the
size of the fonts.
The last row provides Hyphens and Dashes. The first template uses the hyphen
width of the current font. En-dash uses a dash of the equal width as the lower
case 'n', if there is no glyph for the en-dash in the current font. Em-dash uses a
dash of the equal width as the lower case 'm', if there is no glyph for the em-
dash in the current font. M-dash uses a dash of the equal width as the upper
case 'M', and 0-dash uses a dash of the equal width as number '0'.

You can click the question mark( )icon at the end to go to Preferences ->
Shape and specify the space width.
1.17 Phantom (Strut Bar)
The first row is used to fix the height of input slots.

You can assign fixed height regardless of the height of the content character in
each slot, or only fix the height of the ascent or the descent. For example, to
force-standardize the height of two fractions which uses 'a' and 'f' respectively,
you can insert the strut bar to keep the height of the two slots the same.
The second row maintains the full-size width. The character that is entered
above the strut bar always maintains the full-size width regardless of its unique
character width. You can specify whether the character is to be aligned left,
centre, or right.
Phantoms are control characters and are not printed. You can show or hide
them by going to View -> Show Controls (ctrl-Y).
1.18 Alignment
These templates are used to align equation elements on multiple rows to certain
locations. The following example should help you understand the role of the
Alignment templates:
In the above figure, equation elements are aligned at alignment tabs. You can
insert multiple alignment tabs on a single row, and they are aligned in the order
of appearance on each row.
Its shortcut key is available as ctrl-alt-Tab key.

2. Symbol palettes
Symbols are not regular characters or numbers, but various signs of particular shapes used in
mathematics and science for various purposes.
MathMagic provides more than 600 symbols with exclusive MathMagic symbol fonts. The
numerous symbols are categorized on palettes according to their purposes and shapes, so that the
user can quickly and easily access them.
The items on the Symbol palette toolbar are as follows:
Upper Case Greek

Lower Case Greek
Arrows
Set-Theory
Relational Symbols
Triangles
Logical Symbols
Relational Symbols
Miscellaneous Operators
Circled & Squared Operators
Logical and Number Symbols

Black Letters

2.1 Greek Characters
The Greek symbols are composed of two palettes: upper case and lower case
Greek characters.
When MathMagic is installed, the Greek fonts MMGreek,

MMCenturyOldGreek, and MMa Greek are installed. User can install some
more Greek fonts from More MathMagic Fonts folder.
Once you enter a Greek symbol from a Greek palette, you can change the font
only from the Style -> Define Style dialog.
Alternatively, you can enter Roman characters and then change the font to a
Greek font installed in the system after selecting the characters, without having
to access the Greek symbol palettes.
ABVDEUC KOPHXWab|dcmriv MMGreek
ABVDEUCKOPHXWab |dcmr iv MMCenturyOldGreek
ABVCDERKOPQWabcdefopqriv MMa GreekS Italic
You can also press Ctrl-G and enter a Greek character from the keyboard. For
more information on the shortcut keys, please refer to the 'Advanced Features'
or the Appendices section of this Guide.
The default Greek font can be specified in Preferences -> Style. You can
specify different fonts for the upper case letters and the lower case letters.
2.2 Arrows
This palette contains arrow symbols of various shapes.

For other arrow symbols not contained on this palette, you can access the code
map of the MMArrow or the MMaArrow fonts.
You can combine the arrows with the "1.5 Lines" templates to create negated
arrow symbols as shown below:
!
\&YD2U
[YY
Some symbols can be entered with keyboard shortcuts. For more information
on the shortcut keys, see the 'Advanced Features' section of this Guide.

2.3 Set Theory
This palette contains Set-Theory symbols.

Negated Set-Theory symbols are provided on a separate palette. You can also
combine them with the "1.5 Lines" Templates to create negated symbols
yourself.
!Y "Y
!"Yn,
2.4 Relational Operators
This palette contains symbols that express the relationship between two terms,
such as equality signs and inequality signs.
If you do not find the appropriate negated symbols in the MMNegate or
MMRelation font, you can combine relational operators with the "1.5 Lines"
Templates.
Y
#YFY
P[ Y,
fk \/
Y
You can find more relational operators, binary operators, circular or box
symbols on another Symbol palettes.
2.5 Triangles and Angles
This palette contains operators and symbols of various triangular shapes, and
angle symbols.
You can also combine them with the "1.5 Lines" Templates to create negated
symbols.

2.6 Logical Symbols and Ellipses Symbols
This palette contains logical symbols, ellipses, special quotation characters,

numbers and unit symbols.
Normally, an ellipsis is a row of three dots indicating that items have been left
out, usually because they are obvious from the context.
2.7 Binary Operators and Miscellaneous Operators
These palettes contain various binary operators, unary operators,

operators enclosed in circles and boxes, some negated operators, and
other various related symbols.
You can also combine them with the "1.5 Lines" templates to create
negated symbols.
Some symbols can be entered with keyboard shortcuts. For more

information on the shortcut keys, see the 'Advanced Features' section of
this Guide.
2.8 Miscellaneous Symbols
This palette contains various symbols that are not included in the categories
mentioned thus far.

2.9 Shape Symbols
Various shapes that are frequently used in mathematics are provided in the
symbol fonts.
There are two groups of identical shapes, categorized according to size. The
shapes outlined in red are smaller than the ones at the bottom.
2.10 Blackboard Bold and Black Letters
The fonts that are frequently used in mathematical expressions are

gathered together on separate palettes. These palettes provide the
Blackboard Bold font, the script font, and the thick, decorative font,
used in LaTeX.
2.11 Other Symbols
There are many other symbol fonts available in MathMagic symbol fonts which are not included in the Symbol
palettes. You can view them with your favorite Font management utilities such as FontBook.
In addition to symbols from MathMagic fonts, you can use symbols from fonts that are installed in your system,
such as Symbol and Zapf Dingbats. First, Simply enter characters in the Editor window in MathMagic, select them,
and apply the applicable font from the 'Font' menu. This way, all symbol fonts installed in your system can be used.

V. Tutorials
This part contains several tutorial examples of using MathMagic. We provide step-by-step instructions for
each example to make you easy to work with MathMagic.
The characters you have to type will be shown in bold type.
Do not worry about making mistakes. If you type something wrong, or insert some wrong symbol or
template, you can correct it by Ctrl-Z for Undo, or by pressing the BACKSPACE key.
1. Fractions and Square Roots
In our first tutorial, we will create the equation
x =2y ! sin x
8 +c
2
To create this equation, just follow below steps.

Do not forget that you have to type into the equation the bold characters.
Please note that the surrounding rectangle frame is just for decoration purpose only, even though it can be
entered easily in MathMagic.
1. In the document window, type x=2y without space between characters.

You can see that only x and y has been made italic. It happens automatically because Mathematical
variables are almost always printed in italics, so this is the default in MathMagic.
2. Next, to insert the ± symbol, open the Symbol toolbar’s palette(the 2nd) and click the ± symbol on
the palette.
3. Now to insert a square root, open the Template toolbar’s palette(the 3rd) and click the 1st square
root template, or Ctrl-R for the shortcut key. The insertion point will be located inside the root slot.
Now your equation should look like this:

4. Next we need to enter a fraction template. To do this, open the Template toolbar’s palette and click
the 1st fraction template, or Ctrl-F for the shortcut key. Now your equation should look like this:
5. To enter the denominator of the fraction, just type sinx.
Please note that the current version of MathMagic has the oriental input order by default. So the cursor
will position in the denominator slot first.
6. To enter the numerator of the fraction, we need to move the insertion point from denominator to
numerator. To do this, you can press the TAB key or click inside the numerator slot, or press the down
arrow key. Then, just type 8.
7. Next we need to insert the + symbol outside of the square root sign. To do this we have to move the
insertion point to the correct position. Press TAB key repeatedly until it goes to the outside of the square
root sign. By this action you can see how insertion point cycles through all the slots. If you hold down
the Shift key while you do this action, the insertion point will cycle through the slots in the reverse
direction.
8. Once we moved the insertion point to the outside of the square root, we just type +c.
9. To attach the superscript to the c, open Template toolbar’s palette and click the superscript
template or simply just click Main toolbar’s superscript icon, or ctrl-H for its shortcut key.
10. Type 2 into the superscript slot. Finally, the equation will look like this:
11. If you want to add this equation as a clip, select the equation and then execute the Make a Clip command
under the Edit Menu. The added equation clip will be shown at Clips window with the default name of
Window title, followed by a sequential number.
12. To save this document, use the Save command on the File menu or press ctrl-S which is the shortcut
key of this command.

2. Subscripts and Superscripts
In this tutorial we’ll create an equation, which contains subscripts, superscripts, braces and summation
templates.
We’ll create the formula of the complex Fourier series, which is:
f (x) = !c e n
inx
n =- 3
1. In the document window, type f.

2. Now, you have two choices to enter the brace.
In this case, you may just want to enter (x) from the keyboard as characters.
If you want the brace work more specially with automatic formatting feature, you need to insert it thru
the Template. To insert a pair of braces (curly brackets), open the Template toolbar’s palette and
click the 1st curly bracket template. Type x into the braces. The insertion point will be automatically
located inside the braces’ empty slot when the braces are inserted.
Next, if you used braces Template, we need to type = outside of the braces. To do this, we have to move
the insertion point to the outside by pressing TAB key or just by clicking the correct position.
3. Once we moved the insertion point, we just type =.
4. To insert the summation template, open the Template toolbar’s palette and click the template.
Or, Ctrl-T, and then S for the 2 step shortcut. Ctrl-T means that Template shortcut starts.
Now the equation should look like this:
5. Type the letter c into the summand slot (the large slot on the right).
6. Attach a subscript to the c, using the Main toolbar’s icon, or ctrl-L for its shortcut.
Fill in the subscript slot with n.

7. Press tab key and move the cursor to the next slot. Type the letter e.
8. Attach a superscript to the e, using the Main toolbar’s icon, or ctrl-H.

Fill in the superscript slot with inx. The equation should look like this:
9. Now, press Tab key to move to the next slot, or click inside the lower limit slot of the summation
template to move the insertion point inside the slot, and type n=-. To insert the 3 symbol, open the
Symbol toolbar’s palette and click the infinite symbol.

12. Now, click inside the upper limit slot of the summation template, and insert the infinite symbol as we
did in the previous step.
Finally, the equation should look like this:
3. Matrix
In this tutorial we’ll create the following equation using Matrix template.
y1 y2
W (y1, y2 ) =
y l1 y l2
1. First of all, type W in the document window.

2. Next, to insert a pair of braces (curly brackets), just type ( ) from the keyboard, or open the Template
toolbar’s palette and click the curly brackets template. There is slight different behavior between
these. You may choose your preferred style after trying both.
3. Type y into the braces.
4. Then attach a subscript to the y, using the Main toolbar’s icon or ctrl-L. Fill in the subscript slot with
1. Press tab key to move the cursor to the next slot.
5. Type , y beside y1. Now we repeat the step 4 with this y. This time we fill in the subscript slot with 2.
Now the equation should look like this:
6. Now we need to type = outside of the braces. To do this, we have to move the insertion point to the
outside by pressing TAB key or just by clicking the correct position.
7. To insert the side bars, open the Template toolbar’s palette and click on button. Now the
equation will look like this:
8. To insert the matrix template, open the Template toolbar’s palette and click a 2 x 2 matrix template.
Now the equation will look like this:
9. The insertion point will be in the top left slot of the 2x2 matrix, so type y there, and then attach the
subscript 1. To attach a subscript, you may repeat step 4.
10. To save time, we may just create the other entries in the matrix by copying and pasting. Select the y1
by double-clicking on it, copy it to the Clipboard, and paste it into the other three slots in the matrix. We
can use TAB key to move from a slot to the other. Now we have the equation shown below, but we’ve
to fix it up because it’s not the one we’re trying to create.
11. Now, we need to correct the entries in our matrix. First, change the subscripts of the upper right and
lower right slot to 2. Now the equation will look like this:
12. The lower slots should contain the prime template between y and the subscript. To insert this, move
the insertion point before the subscript, open the Template toolbar’s palette and click the prime
template. Apply this step to all the lower slots. Finally, the equation will look like this:
By now, you should be able to create any imaginable equations.

4. Editing Equations
In this tutorial we’ll learn some special editing techniques that are useful to modify an existing equation.
These techniques will save your work time.
When you need to correct a mistake in an old equation, or make a new one that is a slight variation of the
old one, it would be better to bring a copy of the old equation and then modify it as needed instead of
starting from scratch.
Frequently used equations can be saved as Clips by pressing ctrl-M or by using the Make a Clip command
under the Edit menu, or by dragging & dropping the equation into the Clips window. Remember that before
you save as Clip by shortcut key, the equation must be selected. All saved clips will be listed in the Clips
window.
These Clips window’s equation clips can be inserted back to the document by double-clicking or
drag&drop to the document.
sin x + c2
Now, let’s work with the equation we made in Tutorial 1 x =2y ! 8 .
We’ll create equation shown below modifying the old one:
sin x
y0 =2y ! 8 +c2
2r
1. First, open the document containing the equation you created in Tutorial 1 above.
If you’ve added the equation as a clip before, you can bring it just by double-clicking on a clip from the
Clips window instead of opening the old document.
2. After we have the equation, we need to change the term on the left, x to y. To do this, select the x by
double-clicking. Now the x will be highlighted, and the equation will look like this:
3. To change x to y0, delete the selected item by using the Clear command on the Edit menu or by pressing
the 'delete' key. Now the insertion point will be in the left of the = sign, so you can now type y and
attach the subscript 0 to it by using ctrl-L for the subscript template shortcut.
Note: You can type y immediately after selecting the x, without the deleting action. It will give you the
same result.

4. Now, we need to insert the fraction template. Move the insertion point to the right of the ± symbol.
Open the Template toolbar’s palette and click the fraction template. The equation should look like this:
5. Next, we’ll insert the root part inside the numerator slot of the fraction template. To do this, select all
the root part of the equation and execute the Cut command on the Edit menu. Then, click into the
numerator slot of the fraction and execute the Paste command on the Edit menu. The shortcut keys of
these commands are ctrl-X (Cut command) and ctrl-V (Paste command).
Now the equation will look like this:
6. To insert the root template into the denominator, move the insertion point inside the denominator slot of
the fraction and then insert the root template by using Ctrl-R shortcut key, or button in the usual
way.
7. Now, type 2 into the root slot. And then, to insert the symbol, open the Symbol toolbar's
palette and click the symbol. Finally, the equation will look like this:
5. Fonts and Styles

In this tutorial we’ll learn how to change the fonts in the equations by changing Style definitions. Using the
Style feature you can achieve your specific formatting quickly and easily. In this tutorial we’ll work with
this equation:
1. Create the above equation, inserting the a symbol by choosing it from the Symbol toolbar’s palette.

And the rest s=, (x+y) and -log2 can be just typed like regular characters.
The equation will look like this:
2. Now, to bring the Style setting pane, choose Style tab from the Preferences menu or simply click the
Main toolbar’s icon and choose the Style tab.
The dialog shown below will be displayed.
3. The names of the styles are listed together with the font and character style (bold, italic) assigned to
each. The equation we have just created uses Function, Variable, L.C. Greek, and Number styles. The
Function style is automatically assigned to the letters “log”, because log is the standard abbreviation of
the logarithm function. The s, x and y are treated as variables and assigned the Variable style. The a
being lowercase Greek letter, uses the L.C. Greek style and the number uses the Number style. The
brackets and = (Equal) do not use a style.
4. Now, we are going to change some of the styles so you understand how they affect an equation’s
appearance. Let’s change the font of the Function style. To do this, press on the arrow next to the font
name in the Function row and choose a different font. We’ll choose the Gadget font, which will look
noticeably different from MMTimes.
5. Click OK button for confirmation. The equation will be redisplayed using the new Function style. The
logarithm function ‘log’ will be displayed using the new font.
The equation should look like this:

6. Next, we’ll change the font of the Variable style. This style will be assigned to the s, x and y. Let’s
choose the same font assigned to the Function style. You may check that the italic character style is
checked for Variable, but not for Function style.
7. Click the Preview button. The equation will be redisplayed using the new Variable style without closing
the dialog box. Preview button shows you immediately the changed equation without closing the dialog
and it can be ignored if you close the dialog with "Cancel" button The equation will now look like this:
8. Now, let’s also change the font of the L.C. Greek to "Symbol" and Number style to "Geneva" so that it
uses the font you like. Each style will be assigned to a and to the number 2 each.
Click the Preview or the OK button. Now, the equation should look like this:
9. To reset the style definitions changed by our testing, click the Factory Settings button.
10. You can now change the font and style as we did in the above steps.
Now, change them to make the equation your own.
[NOTE] You may also change the Font, Size and Style via the Font menu, Size menu and Style menu directly for
the selection in the document, if you just want to change it once without applying the specified Font/Size/Style for
the entire document.
For details on fonts, styles, sizes and spacing, refer to "Advanced Features" in Chapter VI.
6. Applying and Changing Colors

In this part you will learn how to apply colors to various part of templates and symbol, and how to change a
color to other color after you apply.
MathMagic allows you to specify colors freely just like other word processors - applying while typing-in
equations, and applying colors later after you type in all equations in black.
Let's start with a simple color equation.

- Contains two colors in two different blocks.
1. First enter all your equations in black.

2. Secondly, create your preferred Color styles in either Document-used Color list or Application-wide
Color list, by choosing "New" button from the Color window. Creating all color styles at once is fine:
Blue and Red. You may enter the color value directly or select a color from the System Color Pickter by
clicking "Pick Color" button. Once a color is set, please "OK" button and close the dialog.
3. Select 'y', and then apply Blue color, by choosing from Color menu or double-clicking on the Blue color
4. Select 'x2', and then apply Red color, by choosing from Color menu or double-clicking on the Red color
Let's try again with a bit complex equation with templates.
- Contains a blue fraction bar, red root template, green text and black
numerator text, and a blue integral.
1. First enter all your equations in black, and create your preferred Color styles: Red, Blue, Green. These
three basic colors are available in the Application-wide Color list on the left side of the Color window,
so you can just use those colors by double-clicking on each of them, or by clicking the Right-arrow
button.

2. Select all and apply RGB-Blue color.
3. Select root part only and apply Red-Red color.
4. Select '25', and then apply RGB-Green color. Select '3', and then apply Black which is a Normal Text.
With this step by step applying of color to selected area, you can set a color on any particular part of
equation, even on a specific portion of a template.
When selecting a specific part of a Template, Alt-clicking will let you select a template body or symbol
part of the template, which is normally not possible by keyboard or mouse dragging. Once selected, you
can then apply a Color or a Nudge movement.
For example, Alt-click on the Root line or Integral symbol will select the specific part only.
Let's change a color quick.
- Change all blue color components to purple color.
1. Open the document window that contains the equation front-most

2. Open Color floating window if it is not open. And click on the Document-used Color list to make the
list active.
3. Select the Blue color from the Document color list, and press the "ReAssign" button.
4. Choose a new color your want from the Color Picker. Or, Purple for our testing. And the press "OK".
Enter a new color name if you also want to change the color style name. Otherwise, you can just leave
the name untouched. Press "OK". By the way, you can use your favorite Color picker interface by
switching from above list.
5. You should see the changed color in the document window.
With this approach, the more color related work you have, the more time you will save

VI. Advanced Features
1. Import/Export Options
Not only can MathMagic read and write a variety of equation file formats, it also allows the user to
specify, and manage, the necessary options when importing or exporting equations so as to provide greater
compatibility and accommodate each user's needs and working environment, as shown in the figure below.
In this window, you can take a closer look at the conversion options for the major formats provided in the
Import/Export Options under the 'File' menu.
1.1 General
Under the 'General' tab, you can specify the Clipboard format, the image size when copying and
exporting/converting, options for the OLE objects, and options for the EPS format.
When a selection in the Editor window is Copied (Ctrl-C) or Cut (Ctrl-X), the selection is saved in the
Clipboard to be used in MathMagic or in other applications. Because some formats are better supported
than others depending on the application, MathMagic allows you to select from the formats commonly
used.
Most traditional Windows applications support the WMF format and OLE object well. Basically a vector
format, the WMF format produces high-quality images even when enlarged or shrunk. A copy of OLE
object is always saved in the Clipboard by default for compatibility with other OLE supported applications.
Also, the WMF and OLE formats come with the data for the equation's baseline. In some applications
that support baseline data, the baseline of the equation is automatically aligned when the equation is
pasted.
When you select 'A text based Math expression', the equation is saved in the clipboard in a text-based,
equation-exclusive, format such as MathML or TeX. This is useful if you wish to use the equation in
MathML Editor or a LaTeX application.
NOTE: If you'd like to use MathMagic equations in the new equation editor included in MS Word
2007 or newer, which is mainly based on MathML, you may set your Clipboard format to 'MathML'
after turning on this "A text based Math expression" check box. Then, you can copy MathMagic
equation and paste it direclty into MS Word's equation editor box.
"Image size for Copy" and "Image size for Export & Convert" are used when you wish to temporarily
set the image size to something other than 100% upon copying the equation into the clipboard or exporting
it via File -> Export or File -> Convert. The value must be between 50% and 800% by 1% increament. If
the value is below 100%, the image is shrunk. When it is above 100%, the image is enlarged when copied
or saved. This option does not apply to non-image formats such as MathML and TeX. It also does not
apply to the EPS format because the format is independent of image resolution/ratio. The option only
applies to formats such as BMP, PNG, JPEG, and GIF.
Under 'OLE Object format', you can set the equation image format for OLE objects and WMF whether
saved in Bitmap based image or Font based Vector format. The specified options are applied to both
the equations saved in the Clipboard and the equations exported into files in the WMF format.
Font based vector equations required the used MathMagic fonts in the target computer if you need to send
out the equations to others. Bitmap imaged based equations does not require fonts to display but the quality
may be limited if enlarged or printed in a higher resolution. Bitmap based equations also takes more file
size usually.
1.2 MathML
The options under this tab are used when the equation is exported in the MathML format, when a

MathML file is imported, or when the MathML equation pasted from the clipboard.
Export is currently only available in MathML 2.0. For namespace, you can choose from the following
three options:
When exporting in MathML, MathMagic's .mmf data can be added as an annotation in the MathML
data. This way, when the MathML data is opened again, the original MathMagic equation data (fonts, size,
colors, etc.) is also available for editing.
If "Include HTML Header for better Browser compatibility" is enabled, HTML header information is
added to the MathML/XML data, increasing the compatibility by allowing the file to be processed in some
web browsers like an HTML file.
With "Open all <math> tags in each window if more than one" under 'MathML Import' enabled, each
equation is converted and opened if there are multiple MathML equation areas in a single MathML file
(.mml, .xml, .mathml, etc.). If this option is disabled, only the first <math> tag is converted into an
equation.
When converting a MathML file, if a DTD path on an internet server is specified in the MathML data, all
applicable DTDs are downloaded, read, and then converted. As such, poor internet connection or large
DTD files can slow down the conversion process. If "Ignore DTD path located over the internet, for
fast reading" is enabled, instead of downloading the original DTD from the internet, MathMagic uses its

built-in, standard DTD for faster processing. While there should be no problem generally, the result of the
conversion process may vary if there are symbols or contents defined only in the original DTD. User
discretion is advised depending on whether the MathML file is dependent upon the DTD.
1.3 TeX
The options under this tab are used when the equation is exported in the LaTeX format, when a LaTeX
file is imported, or when the TeX equation is pasted from the clipboard.
When exporting in LaTeX, MathMagic's .mmf data can be added as an annotation in the LaTeX data.
This way, when the LaTeX data is opened again, the original MathMagic equation data (fonts, size, colors,
etc.) is also available for editing.
Depending on the environment in which the LaTeX file is accessed, line breaks can be specified.
LaTeX package options are also available. Click the menu item once to enable it, and click the same item
again to disable it.
With 'Use MathMagic data(.mmf) annotation first if found' enabled, if the LaTeX file contains
MathMagic data, the equation is accessed using the MathMagic data, without converting the LaTeX data
itself.
1.4 MathType
In the options window below, you can specify whether to use MathML or TeX data first upon importing a
MathType equation if they are included within the MathType equation. If, on occasion, MathMagic does
not recognize a part of a MathType equation, preferring LaTeX or MathML data can produce better
conversion results, since these formats are generally more widely in use. However, converting directly
from the MathType format typically produces better results.
MathMagic does not support exporting in the MathType format. If you need to convert an equation into
MathType in MathMagic, you can export it or copy it into the clipboard in LaTeX, Plain TeX, etc. and
paste it in MathType, since these formats are supported by both applications.
1.5 ASCIIMath
Although AsciiMath and AsciiMathML are not widely used due to their limitations in expressing complex
equations and limited symbols support, there are many applications and integration attempts because of
their simplicity and compatibility as text files.
You can select the AsciiMath delimiter in the following window:

When an AsciiMath equation is pasted directly in MathMagic from the clipboard, MathMagic
automatically recognizes it for the most part. However, if the equation is similar to LaTeX or TeX and
MathMagic does not recognize it automatically, you can save it as a text file and set the extension to .txt
for better compatibility.
1.6 Speech
MathMagic supports Text-To-Speech (TTS) for math equations, or Math-To-Speech. In MathMagic,

you can use the OS built-in Text-To-Speech feature or use an external, internet-based text-to-speech
service.
Before the equation is synthesized for speech, you can convert the equation into an English sentence as
though an English speaker is reading the equation aloud. You can do this by accessing 'Copy as Speech
Text' or 'Speak All' under the Edit menu.
You can specify options for saving the equation as a sentence, or voice-synthesizing via a text-to-speech
feature, in the following window:

1.7 Paths
In this window, you can pre-define three paths.
First, you can specify the default path for the 'Save As' dialog box, and enable or disable it. If the specified
folder does not exist, or if the path is a macro that includes variables, the folder is automatically created. If
you need to create new equations back to back and save them in a specific folder, pre-defining a path here

is useful.
Secondly, you can specify the location which will contain all the converted equations if you convert
multiple equation files in File -> Convert.
User defined StyleSet path can also be specified in this dialog. If this is turned on and a path is specified,
MathMagic will use the specified path for StyleSet files, instead of using the following default path:
(MathMagic application folder)\MathMagic User Data v7\StyleSets\
A network volume or shared folder can be used as well so that all team members can have the same
Styleset files for a certain project collaboration.
Please note that MathMagic Personal Edition may not support the User defined StyleSet path.
2. Using Macros
In MathMagic, you can use macros where you specify the name of the file or the path (folder). Macros
are commands by which pre-defined scripts are automatically replaced by the applicable value. Once set,
macros greatly improve productivity by automatically generating folders and file names according to
certain rules, thus eliminating the need to manually name each folder and file. You can also automate the
process when you create or convert a large number of equations at once.
Macros can be used in the following windows related to saving files:
2.1 Save As dialog window
You can use macros when you need to specify the file name upon saving a new file, or saving an existing
file as something else.
To use macros, click the 'User defined format' radio button to activate the macro input field, and select
from the Macro options given at the bottom of the window. The value entered in the input field instantly
updates the file name at the top of the window, and you can immediately verify the actual name of the file
to be saved.
To specify the default folder where the file is to be saved, and enable or disable it, please go to the 'Paths'
tab in the 'Import/Export Options' window. The path entered in the 'Save As' field is used by default in
this 'Save As' dialog.

For more instructions on setting the Path, see 'VI. 1 Import/Export Options'.
2.2 Conversion dialog window
Selecting 'Convert' under the 'File' menu brings up the batch conversion window as shown below. You
can use macros here as well.
If you wish to specify new names for the converted files, not the originals, select 'Save as New file name'
and enter the desired file name in the file name field.

Click 'Default Path...' to specify the default folder where the file is to be saved, and enable or disable it.
Clicking this button brings up the 'Paths' tab in the 'Import/Export Options' window. The path entered
in the 'Batch Conversion' field is used.
For more details on specifying paths, see 'VI. 1 Import/Export Options'.
2.3 Using Macros
All macros must be bracketed with { }. Macros are case-sensitive. The following macros are supported
in MathMagic:
{DOCNAME}: The window title (document name) of the current document is used.
{#} or {#1} - {#5}: With each file saved, the number automatically increases by increments of 1.
The number replaces {#}. If a number is included within the bracket (as in
{#3}, for example), the number maintains three digits (001). You can specify
the number that will replace it in 'Next value for {#}'. If the number is not
specified, the real value begins from 1.
{Y} or {Y2}: The current year. {Y} produces 4-digit years such as 2011, and {Y2} 2-digit
years such as 11.
{M} or {M2}: The current month. {M} produces 1-12. {M2} produces 2-digit months such as

01-12.
{D} or {D2}: The current day. {D} produces 1-31. {D2} produces 2-digit days such as 01-31.
{H} or {H2}: The current hour. {H} produces 1-12. {H2} produces 2-digit hours such as 01-12.
{m} or {m2}: The current minute. {m} produces 0-59. {m2} produces 2-digit minutes such as
00-59.
{S} or {S2}: The current second. {S} produces 0-59. {S2} produces 2-digit seconds such as
00-59.

3. Preferences and Spacing
Although the default values alone can produce high-quality equations, MathMagic allows users to specify
general settings, such as the form, font and sizes of the equation, as much as possible in order to
accommodate the preferences of each user, publisher, or cultural area.
MathMagic is designed in such a way that general settings, such as the form and the size of the equation,
can largely be specified in the Preference window. These settings are divided into Spacing, Style, Size and
Shape settings.
You can access the Preference window through 'Preferences' menu item under the MathMagic application
menu (Ctrl-;), 'Define Spacing' under the 'Format' menu (Ctrl-5), 'Define Style' under the 'Style' menu
(Ctrl-Shift-5), and 'Define Size' under the 'Size' menu (Ctrl-Alt-5). Alternatively, you can click on the
Preferences button on the Main Toolbar.
To close the window, you can press Esc key. In effect, this is the same as clicking the 'Cancel' button.
Under the Spacing tab, you can specify the gap, shape, ratio, and line thickness of main templates. In
order to help understand the role of each field and its value, the area of effect is visually represented in the
figure to the right as you click on each field.
With more than 130 settings divided into 18 sections under the Spacing tab, MathMagic supports
precise specification and various customization options for each template group. Four of them are shown
below.
When specifying the spacing, you can select from the following measurement units for most fields: %, pt,
q, mm, inch and pica. The percent (%) unit uses a value relative to the 'Full' size under the 'Size' tab.

Once the values are specified, you can click the 'Preview' button at the bottom of the window to apply it
temporarily to the current top-most Editor window. If you are not satisfied with the result, you can
continue to try different values until you achieve the desired result, or click the 'Factory Settings' button to
restore the factory default values.
If you have specified the values you want and wish to apply them automatically to new documents in the
future, click 'Make Default'. If you wish to recall the values previously 'made default', click 'Use Default'.
'Factory Settings', 'Use Default', and 'Make Default' not only affect the values specified under 'Spacing' but

all values specified in the Preference window, including 'Style' and 'Size'. Caution is advised if values
specified under other tabs will be affected.
4. Preferences - Style
Under the 'Style' tab, you can change the 11 basic Style values. The values changed here affects all
equations in the Editor window.
When an equation element is entered in the Editor window, MathMagic automatically analyzes the input,
determine whether it is a number, a Greek character, a function, or a text, and then applies the style data
defined in each style item shown below:
When an equation is entered, the elements to which MathMagic has automatically applied a style change
as you alter the settings in the 'Style' window above. However, the style settings above do not apply to
the elements for which you have manually changed the font. In this case, select the elements that were
manually changed (or select the entire equation), go to Style -> Math Default and apply the default style
to all, removing any styles that were manually applied.
In MathMagic Pro or MathMagic Prime, you can access the 'Input Box Type' pop-up menu and specify
the fonts for 'Super/Subscript' and 'Sub-Subscript' according to each style.
Professional publishers often use thicker fonts for super/subscripts and the subscript of a subscript

(sub-subscript). To accommodate this, MathMagic allows you to specify the font separately. Moreover,
MathMagic Pro and Prime Editions come equipped with the -S and -SS variations for the MMa- fonts
for super/subscripts and sub-subscripts, respectively. You can find these fonts in the 'More MathMagic
Fonts' folder inside the 'MathMagic Pro/Prime Edition' folder. Each style has a checkbox on the right to
select the 'Bold' and 'Italic' options.
For 'Operators + - = < >' down below, you can separately specify the font for the five commonly used
operators that can be entered with the keyboard directly. This feature is implemented so that, even if you
were to use the font designed for the text, the vertical alignment, the thickness of the stroke, and the width
could be coordinated with other symbols and operators relatively easily.
Also, you can access the 'Operators & Symbols Font' pop-up menu to specify the font for all other
MathMagic operators and symbols. MathMagic currently provides MM- fonts and MMa- fonts for
symbols. MMa- fonts also include MMa- S fonts for super/subscript slots and MMa- SS fonts for sub-
subscript or super-superscript slots.
Some of these features are not available in MathMagic Personal Edition.
5. Preferences - Size
Under the 'Size' tab, you can change the text size for each type of input slots.
Full size is the standard size of equation elements applied to general equation text boxes. The size unit
must be an absolute unit such as pt, q, mm, inch and pica. The value entered here becomes the reference

point for the relative unit (%) entered elsewhere (size, gap, etc.). Full size is usually the same size as the
body text of books and other published material that include equations.
Other fields can be in the % unit which is relative to the absolute or full size.
The 'Subscript' field contains the full size value of letters entered in subscript slots, and the 'Sub-
Subscript' field contains the size value of the contents in a subscript slot of a subscript slot. The 'Sub
Sub-Subscript' field contains the font size of a subscript slot of a subscript slot of a subscript slot,
although 3-level-deep subscripts are not common.
The 'Symbol' field specifies the default size of symbols that are larger than regular numbers or letters,
including integrals, summation symbols, and set operators. The 'Sub-Symbol' field specifies the size of
these symbols when they are used in a subscript slot.
If you enable 'Separate Size for Integral Symbol' below, you can specify the size of the integral symbol
separately when you wish to make it larger than other symbols.
Moreover, you can assign frequently used sizes to User 1, 2, and 3 to access them quickly from the 'Size'
menu on MathMagic's menu bar.
After you change sizes and temporarily apply the changes by clicking 'Preview', you can click 'OK' to
finalize the changes in the current Editor window. If you click 'Cancel', all the changes in the Preference
window and in the preview are cancelled, restoring the original values in the Editor window.
Some of these features are not available in MathMagic Personal Edition.
6. Preferences - Shape
Under the 'Shape' tab, you can specify the shape of sigma templates, integrals, and arrows.
For arrows, you can choose from a pre-defined list, or specify the values yourself to produce desired shape
and size.
You can also specify the width of the space entered when you press the space bar.

7. Variable Length Integrals
MathMagic provides variable length integrals which extend vertically according to the height of the
equation.
To insert a variable length integral, click any integral template while holding down the Shift key.
+ Click a template while holding down Shift
This feature is available for all templates included in the Integral palette.
The following two examples show the difference between integrals and variable length integrals. The
example on the left shows regular integrals, and the example on the right variable length integrals. These
examples will help you better understand the function and purpose of variable length integrals.

When the size of a variable length integral exceeds a certain point, the symbol is extended by continually
inserting vertical beams. You can specify the threshold in Preferences -> Spacing, as shown below. If
you enter 0, MathMagic automatically uses the optimal value.
And the shape of Integral symbol can be selected from the following 3 shapes from Preferences -> Shape
dialog.
8. Custom Matrix
MathMagic gives you several options when creating a matrix.
Of the various matrix shapes, if you wish to create a matrix at n x n, click any of these icons( )
or bring up the dialog box by pressing Ctrl-T, M.

In this dialog box, you can specify the number of rows and columns, their alignment, and the lines between
the rows and columns.
You can create up to 31 rows and columns and, consequently, you can create a matrix from 1 x 1 to
31 x 31 array. You can also insert another matrix inside each input slot in a matrix.
After a matrix is created, you can add or remove rows and columns at the desired location as necessary.
You can also access the 'Matrix Reloaded' sub-menu under the 'Format' menu to utilize a variety of
matrix editing features, including border definition and alignment options.
The alignment of each row and column can be changed in the 'Format' menu. You can use the
left/center/right alignment options under the 'Format' menu, and use the top/baseline/bottom alignment
options under the 'Matrix Reloaded' sub-menu. Alignment options are only available when the cursor is
located inside the matrix.
Also, lines can be inserted between rows and columns. This feature is useful in creating a simple table, as
shown below, or a form for multi-level calculations.
To insert a line between rows or columns, click and drag until you have the desired length. To delete the
line, click the line again.

You can specify the line thickness as well as the gap between the line and the matrix in the Matrix section
under Preferences -> Spacing.
Color can be applied to Matrix lines in two approaches. You can create a matrix first, and the select the
matrix and apply your color to the selection as you do with other characters.
This is a sample to change from the default Black color to Red color by applying the Red color to the
whole selection.
Or, you can select each line by Alt-clicking, and then apply a color to the selected line. This way, you can
apply various colors to each line, as shown below. It is easier to have a 800% or higher view rate for
the current editor window so that you can Alt-click on the exact line.
Note: This color line feature may not be available in old versions.

9. Using Colors
This chapter covers, in detail, MathMagic's color concept, Color floating window, and the Color menu.
For specific instructions on applying colors to templates and symbols, see the tutorial section in 'V.6
Applying and Changing Colors'.
9.1 Color Style
MathMagic gathers color data and manages them as Color Styles. A color style consists of the color type
(RGB, CMYK, Grayscale), the color values, specifications for Spot color and Overprinting, and the
name of the color. Each color listed in the Color window composes a color style.
When working on a project with others, multiple color styles can be created and used. These color styles
can be shared with other team members to keep the same color profiles for the project.
Once you apply a certain color style to a MathMagic equation, you can change the color in the color style
and apply the change across the equation all at once. So, you have no need to scour the entire document to
change the color of each equation element. If you need to use a variety of colors while working on a book
or a major project, this feature will greatly improve your productivity.
9.2 Application Colors and Document Colors
MathMagic provides two color sets: Application Colors and Document Colors.
Application Colors comprise a color set that can be used across MathMagic documents, that is, on all
Editor windows. These color styles are listed under Application-wide Colors on the left of the Color
window. In this list are default colors that are frequently used. You can freely delete, modify, or add to
these colors. Application-wide Colors are saved in the following location:
(MathMagic application folder)\MathMagic User Data v7\Color\UserDefaultColor
When working on a project, you can share the files in UserDefaultColor with other team members to
standardize the color values. However, these may not be compatible with MathMagic for Windows.
Document Colors are a set of colors used only in a certain document. These color styles are listed on the
right of the Color window. All colors used in the document is listed under Document-used Colors.
Document color styles are saved in each MathMagic document or each equation, not in a separate file. So,
when you send the document to someone else and the recipient opens it, the recipient will have the same
color styles listed under Document-used Colors.
9.3 Using the Color Window
On the Color floating window, you can create a new color style, delete it, change its name or color, apply
it, or switch colors between Application Colors and Document Colors. As such, to learn how to use colors
in MathMagic, you need to understand all the features of the Color window, along with their roles.
On the Color window, the two lists are displayed, as shown below. Application Colors lists all colors used
across the application. Document Colors displays all color styles used in the top-most document.
To apply a color style to the current selection, double-click it from Application-wide Color list. If this
color style has not yet been listed under Document-used Color list, it is automatically added to the listed.
You can also select an application color and click the right arrow button to transfer the color style. In this
case, the color style is listed under Document Colors without being applied to the current selection. If the
color style is already listed under Document Colors, the same color is not listed twice. Also, you can select
a document color and click the left arrow button to move it to Application Colors.
To create a new color style, click 'New'. Be sure to select the appropriate list (Application Colors or
Document Colors) before clicking 'New', as the new color style will be listed under the list that is currently
selected.
Clicking the 'New' button brings up a dialog box where you can specify the color name, the color type, and
color customization. You can manually enter the color value, or you can click 'Pick Color' to select the
desired color through the system-standard color picker window. Using the color picker window enters the
color values automatically.
Note: Color names must not contain commas or parentheses.
When a new color is created, it is listed under one of the lists on the Color floating window, or under the

'Color' menu. You can select it from the list to apply it to the current document.
Click 'ReAssign' to change the color or the name of the color style that is currently selected. The process
is the same as creating a new color style by clicking the 'New' button.
Click 'Apply' to apply the currently selected color style to the current cursor location or to the selection.
You can also apply a color style by double-clicking it.
Click 'Delete' to remove a color style from the list. The color style that is currently in use in the equation
cannot be deleted. To delete this color style, you must first remove the color from the equation.
9.4 Sharing Color Styles with Others
When you work with a team of people to put together books or large documents, there may be a need to
share the same color styles between team members.
In this case, create a list of color styles from the Color floating window according to the color planning of
the project. Add any colors styles that need to be shared to Application-wide Colors and exit MathMagic.
Copy the Default color style file in the following location for your team members. Your team members
must then save the files in the identical location and launch MathMagic.
(MathMagic application folder)\MathMagic User Data v7\Color\UserDefaultColor
Alternatively, you can create a document, add the necessary color styles to Document-used Colors and
share the document with other team members. Your team members can open the document, select the
necessary color styles from Document-used Colors, and click the left arrow button to add the color styles
to Application-wide Colors.
9.5 Sharing and Saving Colored Equations
As with other equations, colored equations can be shared in the following ways:
• Save in WMF, PNG, JPEG, EPS, or MathMagic format

• Paste in other applications or other MathMagic documents
• Drag & drop in other applications
• Copy into clipboard
LaTeX, Plain TeX, and Text-To-Speech, however, may not support or display the color data properly.
In MathMagic Personal Edition, you can export colored equations in the WMF, PNG, or JPEG format.
However, since the Personal Edition only supports Gray EPS, the colored equation will be converted to
grayscale if you choose to save it in the EPS format.
9.6 Exporting Colored Equations in Color EPS and Gray EPS
In MathMagic Personal Edition, you cannot export colored equations in Color EPS. Colored equations are
converted to grayscale and saved in Gray EPS. 'EPS Color' format under the 'Save As' dialog is only
active in MathMagic Pro or Prime Edition.
When using MathMagic Pro or Prime Edition through the MathMagic plug-in in Adobe InDesign, the
colored equation sometimes needs to be treated in Gray EPS as well as Color EPS depending on your
work.
If the document contains colored equations, the equation is always sent to InDesign in the Color EPS
format. However, if you wish to save the colored equation in Gray EPS temporarily, hold down the Shift
key and select 'Save in InDesign' under the 'File' menu, or press Shift+Ctrl+S. Alternatively, you can
enable 'Display Color in Gray' under the 'View' Menu before saving the document.
Even when the document is saved in Gray EPS, the original MathMagic document included in it still
maintains the color data. Therefore, you can re-open the original to modify and edit the color data.
