• How to install MathMagic Plug-in
  • If running on Windows 7 or Windows Vista, please set the Properties of your InDesign application first. This is to make InDesign appplication can talk to the external MathMagic Pro application and also let MathMagic Plug-in save the Preferences file correctly.
    - right-click on InDesgin CSx.exe application, select 'Properties', from
          \Program Files\Adobe\InDesign CSx.exe
    - Select "Windows XP SP2" compatibility mode, and turn on "Run as an Administrator" privilege.
    
    
  • The correct version of MathMagic plug-in should be manually installed by copying from
    \Program Files\MathMagic Pro Edition\Plug-ins\ folder
    to \InDesign CSx\Plug-ins\ folder.
    
    
  • Then, set the path to MathMagic Pro v7.x InD.exe application in the
    InDesign menubar -> Plug-ins -> MathMagic -> Preferences... dialog: Click "Find" button.

• Please NOTE that MathMagic Pro for QXP application works only with its accompanying MathMagic XTensions, while MathMagic Pro for InD application only works with its MathMagic Plug-ins.
  So, if you need to work with both InDesign and QuarkXPress, you need to install both "MathMagic Pro for InDesign" and "MathMagic Pro for QuarkXPress" separately.
  
  

1. Installing

• Install MathMagic Pro for InDesign for Windows using the latest MathMagic Pro installer.
• Manually install MathMagic plug-in in the following location.
  - copy "MathMagic CS6" folder itself from
  \Program Files\MathMagic Pro Edition\Plug-ins\ folder
  - and paste(or simply drag&drop) it into your
  \Adobe InDesign CS6 folder\Plug-ins\ folder
  
  
• Then, launch your InDesign CS6 application. Once the MahgMagic CS6 plugin is installed and loaded correctly, you should see.
  InDesign menubar -> Plug-ins -> MathMagic sub menu.
• Then, please choose : InDesign menubar -> Plug-ins -> MathMagic -> Preferences dialog: click "Find" button to select the path to the external MathMagic Pro application, which is typically
  \Program Files\MathMagic Pro Edition\MathMagic Pro 7.x InD.exe
  
• Then, all your initial setting should be done if you are running Windows XP.
• If running on Vista or Windows 7, please read above (* How to Install) to set the Admin setting in the Properties window of both MathMagic Pro application and InDesign appliation.
  
  
• Please read the License email or ReadMe First file for more information, located in
  \Program Files\MathMagic Pro Edition\ folder
  
  

2. Creating Equations

• Launch Adobe InDesign application(CS ~ CS6).
• Make a new InDesign document or open a document.
• Select the Plug-ins menu -> MathMagic sub-menu.
• Choose "New Equation" item to create an equation.
  If the cursor is located in the text box, the equation will be inserted in the cursor position as an In-Line Graphic(ILG). Otherwise, the equation will be placed as an EPS graphic on where you click the mouse.
• You may select the Sigma tool button from the floating main toolbar to create an equation box, and then drag a rectangle in the document to specify the location of an equation once created by the external MathMagic Pro.
• You may also right button click while the cursor is in the text box, so that you can choose the "New Equation" from the contextual menu.
• If you either select "New Equation" menu or drag a rectangle with th Sigma tool, MathMagic Pro application will be launched, if not running already, and an empty equation editor window will be opened. In case MathMagic Pro application is not launched automatically within a few seconds, please launch the application manually from the following location.
  \Program Files\MathMagic Pro Edition\MathMagic Pro 7.x InD.exe
  
  
• Enter any equation in the MathMagic editor window, and then Close(ctrl-W) or Save(ctrl-S) the window. This will send the equation to the InDesign document back.
  
  

3. Editing Equations

• Choose "Edit Equation..." item to edit the currently selected equation. Or, just double-click on the equation box to open it with the external MathMagic Pro application for editing. You may also control-click on the equation to bring up the contextual menu, after changing the cursor to the Arrow tool.
• After creating or editing of equation with the external MathMagic Pro, just press control-S and then the equation is placed in the InDesign document.
  
  
• The baseline of all equations will be automatically adjusted. But if you want to lower or raise the baseline, you may do so.
  • just change the cursor to the arrow cursor and move the equation box by dragging to where you desire, or
  • control-click on the equation box to bring up the contextual menu, and then select "Shift Baseline" item, or
  • select an equation box and choose "Shift Baseline" menu from the MathMagic plug-in menu
    
    

4. Changing the Baseline and Bounding margins

• The baseline of all equations will be automatically adjusted. But if you want to lower or raise the baseline, you may do so.
  • just change the cursor to the arrow cursor and move the equation box by dragging to where you desire, or
  • control-click on the equation box to bring up the contextual menu, and then select "Shift Baseline" item, or
  • select an equation box and choose "Shift Baseline" menu from the MathMagic plug-in menu
    
• You may also customize the bounding margin gaps(left, right, top, bottom) of the equation, by specifying other value from the last item of Define Spacing window.
  
  

5. Assigning Shortcut keys to MathMagic menu items

• Install MathMagic plug-in by the instruction
• Launch InDesign application and make sure that MathMagic plug-in is loaded under Plug-Ins menu.
