I use both Macs and PCs. In the PC version of Word, I can modify the equation options directly from the Equation ribbon bar. One option I need is the ability to copy the equation as plain text. Does this option exist on the Mac Word 2011?

There is not one. But you're in luck, because you can assign one using Tools -> Customize Keyboard. See the example below.
Office 2011 for Mac is very much like Office 2010 on Windows. You'll see the same equation button in the Ribbon, and more buttons while you're editing an equation. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Plus, you can always download a trial version of Office 2011 to make sure your files will be compatible!

I realize this is a very old question, but here goes. The option to change to linear allows for copying as plain text. This option can be found in the Equation ribbon. Also, the Equation box dropdown has the change option as well.
