Equation Editor in Microsoft Word 6

[Dave442]

Hi all,

Sorry if this seems trivial but I cant for the life of me figure this out!

I wish to write an equation in Word 2007 using the equation editor. As the equation features integral signs in both the numerator and the denominator, however, the size of the integral signs is reduced quite drastically. I would like to increase the size of the integral signs to match that of the integrands.

Any ideas would be appreciated!
Dave

Glad you are interested in LyX .
It's the only one of its kind, while there are many straight LaTeX IDE's.

I got really sick of the garbage a few years ago and bought MathType. I end up with a lot of equations in Word documents and PowerPoint presentations and MathType handles them all with no drama. When I bought it the price was around $25. Today the latest version is $97. It is easily worth $100, but I'm not sure I'd pay $103.

Hmm... well I tried it and Inkscape (

seemed to recognize MiKTeX (

without much trouble at all. Really, all that I did was install MiKTeX and Inkscape recognized it. Once MiKTeX is installed, you can simply go to "Extensions>Render>LaTeX Formula..." and type it in.

$\frac{\int\limits_x^y a}{\int\limits_x^y b}$

I think the advantage to Inkscape is that you can save your equation as an EMF file, which will go into MS Word without issues. Word is really terrible at importing more standard vector formats like EPS and PDF.

PNG images work okay... but I've had problems with MS Office downsampling my figures...

Anyhow, here's an example of the output:

flash,

I didn't know inkscape supported TeX math.
Thanks for sharing. I will give it a try to see how I like it.
