Note: MathType does not yet work with Office 365/2016 for Mac. You can insert MathType equations into most Microsoft Office apps in one or more of these ways: From the MathType toolbar or menu (Word & PowerPoint 2002-2003 and 2011), with the Insert Eqn icon (Word & PowerPoint 2008), or MathType tab on the Ribbon (Word & PowerPoint 2007-2016 for.

Issue
Occasionally the MathType Toolbar/Tab will disappear from the Microsoft Word Toolbar/Ribbon.
Reason
When Microsoft Office Auto-update runs and installs new updates, add-ins will occasionally be disabled and in doing so, removes any Toolbar/Ribbon additions. Depending on the version of Microsoft Word you are using, this can be easily corrected.
