Thus, the next sections of this article will refer simply to Math Input Panel , regardless of the operating system version that you are using. And, to keep things simple, we will use screenshots taken only in Windows 10.
How to use Math Input Panel
In the middle of Math Input Panel , where it says "Write math here" , start writing your mathematical formula with your finger or your mouse, for instance. Once you start writing, you can use the tools from the menu that appears on the right side of the window.
When done, click or tap Insert and the formula is automatically pasted in the document where you want to use it.
If the formula is not automatically copied to the application where you need to insert it, don't worry. By default, Math Input Panel saves formulas in the clipboard. Use Paste (CTRL + V) in the other application and it will be inserted immediately.
If you write multiple formulas in one session, you can go back to any of them using the History menu. Click or tap on History and select the previous formula you want to edit or insert again into the document.
Once the formula is loaded by Math Input Panel , edit it if you need to, and click or tap on the Insert to have it pasted in your document.
How to correct formulas
When writing a formula, don't hesitate to use the tools available on the right side of the application. If you made a mistake, you can easily fix it using the Erase tool. Click or tap on it to erase the mistake.
There are situations when Math Input Panel doesn't recognize what you write very well. You can correct the way it interprets your writing by clicking or tapping on "Select and Correct" . Then, select the character you want to correct. A drop-down menu with possible correction options is shown. From that menu select the correct interpretation and resume your writing by clicking or tapping on Write .
How to configure Math Input Panel
Math Input Panel also offers few configuration options. All of them can be accessed from the Options menu. The options are self-explanatory and allow you to do things such as changing the position of the buttons, turning on and off the grid or showing on-screen keyboard buttons.
Check the options that you want enabled and uncheck those you don't.
Conclusion
As you can see from this tutorial, Math Input Panel is a tool that's simple and easy to use. It's main benefit is the fact that it speeds up the process of working with mathematical formulas. Instead of using the Microsoft Office Equation Editor a nd spend quite some time inserting and editing mathematical formulas, you can simply draw them in Math Input Panel and insert them in any document you need to. If you have some cool tips or usage scenarios for Math Input Panel don't hesitate to share them in the comments below.
