First, let’s see how the converter works in PowerPoint, Excel, and Word, then let’s check out the functions a program can call to perform conversions, and lastly, let’s interpret an MEE “Equation Native” binary data stream. Some equation objects cannot be converted, e.g., long division, since OMML doesn’t have a counterpart. The converter can convert most MEE and MathType OLE objects to OfficeMath. The feature sets of MEE, MathType and OfficeMath are compared in the post Equation-Editor OfficeMath Feature Comparison and Other Office Math Editing Facilities. This post describes the conversion facility that ships with Office 365. Provided the MT Extra font is installed, MEE OLE objects display correctly, but they cannot be edited unless the user installs MathType or converts them to Office native math zones (OfficeMath). Microsoft doesn’t have access to the MEE source code and MEE’s author, Design Science, doesn’t maintain it, instead offering the more powerful, upward-compatible MathType program. As discussed in the post Editing equations created using the Microsoft Equation Editor, the Microsoft Equation Editor 3.0 (MEE) was removed from Office installations because it has security problems and no maintenance.
