I've one word document having equations typed using MS Equation Editor 3.0 ; One Sample Screenshot is mentioned below: enter image description here

How can I get underlying AMS-Latex code for equation added using MS Equation Editor?

  • Does Word's equation editor support exporting their code to LaTeX? I am not sure it would but I don't use Word. – dustin Aug 21 '13 at 12:51
  • I'm not sure about it, while searching over internet, found one url : http://ex-ample.blogspot.in/2012/06/how-to-import-or-export-latex-equation.html ; it seems there are some tools using which conversion is possible. Still checking to see if there are any simpler options. – Pawan Mude Aug 21 '13 at 13:00

  • @KevinC Those focus on using command-line tools to do conversion of either entire .doc files other formats, which go in the 'support for LaTeX' category (or at least close enough to be on topic). Your question seems to be about the Word GUI, which is distinct and not on-topic for us. – Joseph Wright Aug 21 '13 at 13:11
  • @JosephWright: I'm not the one who asked the question... I just referred the OP to some other posts that might be useful. – Herr K. Aug 21 '13 at 13:16

    @KevinC Oh yes, sorry I'd missed that :-) Point stands though that my feeling is this one is off-topic as it's about the Word GUI. – Joseph Wright Aug 21 '13 at 13:16

I do not think that this is possible with MS Equation Editor 3.0. But it is possible with MathType (a commercial software product, Link).

I made a LaTeX introduction in German - here are the relevant slides:

  • Thanks Manuel, I've used MathType in the past. Today received one MS document where symbols and formule are entered using MS Equation Editor, So checking if similar output is possible to get directly from equation editor 3.0 – Pawan Mude Aug 21 '13 at 13:26

    I see. Maybe you can use MathType to open the document and then convert the equations. There's a 30 days trial version available. – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Aug 21 '13 at 13:29
  • Thanks Manuel ; i've installed trial version and using same. – Pawan Mude Aug 24 '13 at 14:10
