What about writing an openoffice function that converts an expression to
openoffice equation format? For example, the above output is:
{cos(1)} over {sin(1)} - {(sin(1)^2 + cos(1)^2) cdot (x-1)} over
{sin(1)^2} + {(cos(1) cdot sin(1)^2 + cos(1)^3) cdot ((x-1)^2)} over
{sin(1)^3}
(just paste that into the equation editor of openoffice and the equation
pops up in your document).
The syntax is looser than latex, but I think it's probably doable and
probably just a modification of the latex function. While it might be
nice to insist on everyone downloading a latex macro and learning a bit
of latex, having an openoffice export function makes Sage that much more
accessible.
I have no idea if the equations can then be converted to Word. I'd be
interested in knowing, though.
