This document describes how to launch MathType on Windows from AppsAnywhere and how to integrate MathType with Microsoft Word.
Installation
1. If you are using a University-managed Windows computer, locate the AppsAnywhere icon on Desktop:
Otherwise, proceed to https://appsanywhere.mst.edu/

3. In the “Search Apps” field, type “MathType”. A dropdown should appear under the search box showing MathType. Click “Launch”
4. The Cloudpaging Player should now open, it will download and install MathType. If it does not automatically open MathType, you can manually start it by clicking the green “Launch” button at the top of the Cloudpaging Player’s window
5. MathType should now be successfully installed on your Windows computer. You should now be able to find MathType in the Start Menu.
NOTE: If you launch MathType and it tells you there is an upgrade available, submit a ticket at help.mst.edu and the AppsAnywhere team will package the newer version.
