Editing equation in rtf doc: "Word equation too large to convert"
I have an academic paper that I have written and need to share with my
co-authors who use MS Word. I converted it from latex to rtf format. I can open the document in word 2007 and edit it, however, whenever I try to edit an equation I get a dialogue box with the error message €śWord equation too large to convert". The contents of the equation get erased and I have close the equation editor and press Crtl-z to get the contents of the equation back. The problem occurs even with very simple equations, such as the fraction 1/2. I have searched the web and others seem to have had the same problem. I haven't found a solution or work-around. Is there a way to get round this problem? The only solution I have at the moment is to delete the equations, then manually enter them again using the word equation editor. |

I prefer .rtf myself but I know from experience that when things like tables and graphics etc are involved the files can get HUGE. This may be the source of the problem that you're having with the equation editor. -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |

I've tried saving the document in doc format but the problem persists (although the filesize is much smaller). I've also tried pasting a single equation into a blank document. When I save it in doc format the file size is 11kb but again the problem persists. I'm able change the font and fontsize of the equation ok, but when I double click the equation to edit it, I get the error message. |

This is a problem in Word 2007
This bug can be reproduced wholly within Word 2007. Use field codes (hit ctrl-f9) to make any simple equation like { EQ 0}, and then I get the error when I click on it.
