Microsoft (Office 2007 And Math Edit)

On Office 2007, Math Editing And Producer Display By Vinayak Nandikal

Planning for Microsoft Office 2007..??

Why Do We Need a Plan?

It’s coming, we want to be ready

Licensing changes

Substantial changes to the interface

Potential support issues

Proactive planning ensures your feedback is considered

When Is Office 2007 Coming

Coincides with MS Vista release

November 30 corporate release

January 30 release to general public

On campus license changes will vary

Not tied to Vista – will run on XP SP2

U of G Office 2007 Licensing

MS Campus Agreement

Will remain as Office 2003 for now

Can choose when to move to 2007

MS Student Select

Currently on hold until corporate release

new license and old media with downgrade rights

Academic Select – other MS apps

Minor price reductions

Licenses discontinued (XP, Server 2003)

Changes to the Office Suite

New interface

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook

Home tab

Office Button access to file menu Ribbon replaces menu and task bar

New and improved functionality

New functions lost if files opened in older versions of Office suite

Changes to the Office Suite

New file format

Default is MS "Open XML" format (.docx)

Save to older file format (.doc)

Some newer features may be lost

Can import older files to new format

Some functionality lost

Reduced file size, better data recovery, reduced file corruption

Potential Support Issues

Licensing changes

Old version, new licenses

New interface and file format

compatibility, collaboration, consistency

Training requirements

Activation

Grace period of 25 uses

Reduced functionality after grace period without activation

Your Input Matters

Become an early adopter

We can provide licenses

Provide input on your experience

Compatibility issues

Potential support issues

Your feedback will help direct recommendations to the community

Next Steps – Dates TBD

CCS/IT Admins as early adopters

Train CCS Help Services staff

Gather feedback on issues, etc.

Recommend a date for campus migration - Spring 2007 or later?

Lab upgrade decisions

Change MS Campus Agreement license to 2007

Overview on Math Editing

8 math infrastructures inside and outside of Microsoft enable better math display/editing

New math edit/display environment

Interoperate with popular mathematics programs such as Mathematica, MathCad and Matlab

Incorporate into Office apps, Encarta calculator, eventually IE

Complex Project

Intricacies of math typesetting

Creating/using myriad glyph variants

Vagaries of math notation

Embedding math zones into international text environments

Interaction with complex scripts

Math in other objects like links, ruby

Input with nonASCII keyboards

Eight Math Infrastructures

[La]TeX: Current tech-doc standards

Unicode: Includes ~2000 math symbols

MathML 2.0: Math K – 12 and beyond

OpenType font technology: Special math tables

New math font (Cambria Math)

Math layout handler

Shared math input components

MS Office environment, autocorrect

Math Spacing

Operators have math spacing given by extended TeX spacing rules

Function object gives correct spacing for math functions

n-aryand object gives correct spacing for n-ary expressions

Automate much TeX “tweaking”

Handle context-dependent spacing of operators like + - . , :

Vagaries Of Math Notation

Choice of subscript/superscript base

Function arguments like

Integrands and n-aryands

Absolute value ambiguities like ||a|-|b||. Actually this example is unambiguous, but |a|b - c|d| has two possible meanings

Context sensitive ellipses: … vs ⋯

Math Input Methods

Linear format input and manual buildup

Formula autobuildup (FAB)

Math ribbons

Recognition of handwritten formulae

Hex code input

WYSIWYG editing

Hybrid editing (combination of WYSIWYG and FAB)

Autocorrect Examples

Type delta and get δ , Delta and get Δ

Define quadratic to be

x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac))/2a

Then typing quadratic<space> inserts:

Formula Autobuildup

User types formulas in linear format in a math zone

Expressions are built up as soon as they’re syntactically unambiguous

Expressions can be edited in built-up form or in linear form

Roles Of Space

Spaces are rarely needed inside math formulae, since spacing is automatic

Use to terminate autocorrect entries and expressions

Use as command to build up math objects

A space builds up one subexpression; other operators build up as many as they can

Font Math Tables

Specialized math tables have been created to control glyph placements

Position subscripts/superscripts horizontally using cut-ins and italic corrections

Many math constants: axis height, fraction rule thickness, etc.

Compare kerning of

The math tables are formalized as OpenType tables

Conclusions for Math editing

Eight infrastructures allow better math display and editing than ever before

High quality math handler and font enable typography competitive with or better than TeX

Methods such as Formula Autobuildup

Incorporated into Word 2007, Math graphing calculator

Plan to add to PPT, Excel. Hope to add to IE, …, and maybe future compilers
