If you have MathType installed, a dialog appears, asking whether to use Pages to create the equation. You can also choose Insert > Equation (from the Insert menu at the top of your screen). You can also select the page thumbnail in Page Thumbnails view.Ĭlick in the toolbar, then choose Equation. Place the equation so it can be moved freely: Click in the corner of the page to make sure nothing is selected. Place the equation inline with text: Place the insertion point in some text, a text box or shape, or a table cell, or select the text you want the equation to replace.
