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 readyLicensing changes Substantial changes to the interface Potential support issuesProactive planning ensures your feedback is considered

When Is Office 2007 Coming

Coincides with MS Vista releaseNovember 30 corporate releaseJanuary 30 release to general publicOn campus license changes will varyNot tied to Vista – will run on XP SP2

U of G Office 2007 Licensing

MS Campus Agreement Will remain as Office 2003 for nowCan choose when to move to 2007

MS Student SelectCurrently on hold until corporate releasenew license and old media with downgrade rights

Academic Select – other MS appsMinor price reductionsLicenses discontinued (XP, Server 2003)

Changes to the Office Suite

New interface Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook

Home tabOffice Button access to file menu Ribbon replaces menu and task barNew and improved functionalityNew functions lost if files opened in older versions of Office suite

Changes to the Office Suite

New file formatDefault is MS "Open XML" format (.docx)Save to older file format (.doc)

Some newer features may be lost

Can import older files to new formatSome functionality lost

Reduced file size, better data recovery, reduced file corruption

Potential Support Issues

Licensing changesOld version, new licenses

New interface and file formatcompatibility, collaboration, consistency

Training requirementsActivation

Grace period of 25 usesReduced functionality after grace period without activation

Your Input Matters

Become an early adopterWe can provide licenses

Provide input on your experienceCompatibility issuesPotential support issues

Your feedback will help direct recommendations to the community

Next Steps – Dates TBD

CCS/IT Admins as early adoptersTrain CCS Help Services staffGather 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/editingNew math edit/display environmentInteroperate with popular mathematics programs such as Mathematica, MathCad and MatlabIncorporate into Office apps, Encarta calculator, eventually IE

Complex Project

Intricacies of math typesettingCreating/using myriad glyph variantsVagaries of math notationEmbedding math zones into international text environmentsInteraction with complex scriptsMath in other objects like links, rubyInput with nonASCII keyboards

Eight Math Infrastructures

[La]TeX: Current tech-doc standardsUnicode: Includes ~2000 math symbolsMathML 2.0: Math K – 12 and beyondOpenType font technology: Special math tablesNew math font (Cambria Math)Math layout handlerShared math input componentsMS Office environment, autocorrect

Math Spacing

Operators have math spacing given by extended TeX spacing rulesFunction object gives correct spacing for math functionsn-aryand object gives correct spacing for n-ary expressionsAutomate much TeX “tweaking”Handle context-dependent spacing of operators like + - . , :

Vagaries Of Math Notation

Choice of subscript/superscript baseFunction arguments likeIntegrands and n-aryandsAbsolute value ambiguities like ||a|-|b||. Actually this example is unambiguous, but |a|b - c|d| has two possible meaningsContext sensitive ellipses: … vs ⋯

Math Input Methods

Linear format input and manual buildupFormula autobuildup (FAB)Math ribbonsRecognition of handwritten formulaeHex code inputWYSIWYG editingHybrid editing (combination of WYSIWYG and FAB)

Autocorrect Examples

Type \delta and get δ, \Delta and get ΔDefine \quadratic to be

x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac))/2aThen typing \quadratic<space> inserts:

Formula Autobuildup

User types formulas in linear format in a math zoneExpressions are built up as soon as they’re syntactically unambiguousExpressions can be edited in built-up form or in linear form

Roles Of Space

Spaces are rarely needed inside math formulae, since spacing is automaticUse to terminate autocorrect entries and expressionsUse as command to build up math objectsA 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 placementsPosition subscripts/superscripts horizontally using cut-ins and italic correctionsMany 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 beforeHigh quality math handler and font enable typography competitive with or better than TeXMethods such as Formula AutobuildupIncorporated into Word 2007, Math graphing calculatorPlan to add to PPT, Excel. Hope to add to IE, …, and maybe future compilers
