[Tex/LaTex] Convert standard Word equations to LaTeX

math-modeword-to-latex

I have a Word document with a lot of formulas that I want to translate to LaTeX (actually it was a Powerpoint document but I extracted all the text to Word).

The most annoying task is to convert all the formulas to LaTeX style. Is there an easy way since MathType is something else than the built in formula editor. I could also copy-paste directly but for each math environment you have to set the $-symbols and edit more complex formulas such as fractions etc. Is there a simpler way?

I would check out Pandoc at pandoc.org. This program can convert your files from Word to Tex. Install Pandoc to your system and run the following shell-command from the demo-site.

pandoc -s MANUAL.txt -o example29.docx
