That will never work; if you look at the code, OpenOffice expects valid "StarMath" (OpenOffice Math) syntax inside that annotation; that's why I said that you could add the latex formula as a OO Math comment; but, again, this is useless, because the user will see that comment, and can remove it. > > > > You could add the latex formula as a comment inside that annotation (in > > OpenOffice Math comments start with %%), but if the user deletes the > > comment, you won't be able to import back the latex formula.
