How to convert Math type equation 5 to word 2007 equation
hello,
I am a (french, sorry for my poor english) professor of mathematics. I have hundreds of Word 2003 files with equations. How to convert automatically them into Word 2007 equations Word. |

How to convert Math type equation 5 to word 2007 equation
I have been trying to do this here, but I can't seem to find a way to
convert an equation editor object into a Word 2007 equation.

How to convert Math type equation 5 to word 2007 equation
This is pure speculation, because I have neither the tools nor the
time to experiment, but you may want to follow it further: If you indeed have MathType and not just the equation editor that comes with Word, then it has the ability to export equations in several flavors of TeX, including LaTeX. Word 2007 has an "inline" text-based format for equations. This format is not exactly like TeX, but it might be possible to create a translator program from one to the other. Once the expressions have been made recognizable to Word 2007, it can automatically convert the "inline" format to display format. I don't know whether anyone, inside or outside Microsoft, has attempted a LaTeX-to-Word converter program. I think it would have some commercial potential if it was thorough and reliable. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

There is a product named TeX2Word, available on the web at http://www.tex2word.com/. TeX2Word isn't our product, but it does require MathType 4+. It converts either a TeX or a LaTeX document into a Word document with MathType equations. Evaluation versions of both TeX2Word and MathType are available (T2W from the link above, MT from the link below). -- Bob Mathews bobm at dessci.com Director of Training http://www.dessci.com/free.asp?free=news FREE fully-functional 30-day evaluation of MathType 5 Design Science, Inc. -- "How Science Communicates" MathType, WebEQ, MathPlayer, MathFlow, Equation Editor, TeXaide |

Thanks, Bob, but the target of the LaTeX-to-Word conversion I was referring to was the inline format of Word 2007 equations. Since that's a completely new format, I wouldn't expect any existing product to handle it. Can you tell us anything yet about how MathType will cope with Word 2007? Probably the whole issue is moot and the OP should just keep using MathType. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

That's right; everyone should use MathType. ;-) Seriously Jay, to answer your question, our Equation Editor still ships with Office 2007 (the same one that shipped with Office 2003). There isn't a conversion that I know of from Equation Editor or MathType equations to the new Office 2007 format (or vice versa). Your hunch is therefore correct -- play it safe and stick with Equation Editor or MathType, especially if you have legacy documents containing these equation formats, or if you need to collaborate with colleagues who use a pre-Office 2007 version of Word. -- Bob Mathews bobm at dessci.com Director of Training http://www.dessci.com/free.asp?free=news FREE fully-functional 30-day evaluation of MathType 5 Design Science, Inc. -- "How Science Communicates" MathType, WebEQ, MathPlayer, MathFlow, Equation Editor, TeXaide |
