MathType to Characters
This may seem like a really strange question...
We receive files in that have Equations in the Word document - either Equation Editor or MathType. The problem is that many times the items do not need to be in MathType. We receive files that an italic "s" or italic "t" sub "0" is in MathType. We need these types of elements entered directly in Word - the "s" could just be typed off the keyboard and italicized. a+b=c does not need to be in MathType. Greek characters do not need to be in MathType. We have documents where these types of things are entered using Mathtype 50 to 100 times in a doc! Can anyone direct me toward any conversion-type program that might exist to convert MathType to the characters in Word. I have looked into this and come up empty-handed but thought I would throw the question out in case someone has any ideas! Are there any other export(conversion) filters for MathType other than the default ones that come with MathType? (Yes, I know that I can write my own - but I was really trying to avoid that). |

KAM,
Unfortunately, the solution you mentioned is the only one I'm aware of, that being for you to write your own translator. Perhaps the MathType SDK can be of use to you. Part of the SDK is a Translator Programmers Manual. The MathType SDK is available for free download at http://www.dessci.com/en/reference/sdk/default.htm. -- 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 On 22-Nov-2005, KAM wrote: We receive files in that have Equations in the Word document - either Equation Editor or MathType.

Bob,
Thanks for answering. I had assumed that there was really no "easy answer" for this - but thought I would give it shot anyway. I may just have to look into creating a new translator.
