Dec 16 2015 I am using Word 2011 for Mac version 1459. Importing work containing MathType or Equation Editor equations works fine for Mac Office documents. When showing your work you should use the equation editor in Word.
The equations in such a document will be fully editable.
I do insert anobject and choose microsoft equation. The equation editor will look slightly different depending on the version of Word that you are using. Importing work containing MathType or Equation Editor equations works fine for Mac Office documents. Unfortunately equation numbers created using MathTypes equation numbering feature in Word will not import into Pages properly and will have to be recreated.
