equations after you transfer the document. This process reformats each equation

using the fonts on the current platform, and is necessary to obtain the correct

spacing of the characters in the equations (even fonts with the same names often

have slightly different character shapes and sizes on each platform).

You can update equations individually by double-clicking on them, choosing

MathType’s Update command, and then closing the MathType window. If

you’re using Microsoft Word, all of the document’s equations can be updated

with the Format Equations command — see the section in this chapter on

Microsoft Word for details. Also, any fonts used in the equations must be

available on both platforms; otherwise, you will have to choose new fonts for the

equations after the transfer.
