Word 2007: Copying Equations
Hi aboeing,
There will likely be some loss of resolution going from clear type displayed text to any graphic format via the clipboard. Try pasting the equation into the Word document directly while you're still in Word 2007. Once they're converted to a Word 2003 document, repasting as another graphic type usually won't improve the appearance. If you don't want the equations on their own 'line' in a Word document they will need to be cropped, but you can crop multiple graphics at one time if they're not inline with text (no wrap) Inserting in a drawing canvas, textbox or table cell will scale the graphic. In Word 2003 you can turn off the drawing canvas surround in Tools=Options=General. When inserted in a document as an EMF in Word 2007 there is some change but it's not easy, for me, to see a significant difference between the original equation and the graphic and that seems to be the best of the available formats. There is a very obvious issue with Word 2007 documents saved as Word 97-2003 format with Word 2007 equations. Saving as PDF and pasting into Word from there or Printing to the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer (printer) and copying from there back to Word produce, it appears, about the same result as EMF, so you may find defining the size of what you're copying to be a better choice than cropping after pasting. You may want to look into Mathtype ( http://mathtype.com ) as it can create equations that work in both Word 2003 and Word 2007. ============= "aboeing" wrote in message news I should have mentioned that I have tried the paste-special, to paste as enhanced metafile, and windows metafile, and windows document object. However, the metafile versions still do not look good, and all three of these options produce a small equation in the middle of a huge canvas, making it imposible to insert it into a document without making the equations miniscule. So to reiterate the question, Is there a way to copy&paste an equation and preserve the quality level, or Is there a way to paste the equations as a document object and not generate a large canvas around the object? (Resizing the objects to fill the page and then rescaling them back is not a viable option due to the number of equations involved) -- Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* |
