Given a formula in a document x.odf, it can be transferred into a text document (.odt) by Insert -> Object -> OLE Object -> Create from File and search for the file. If the formula document is already open in OOo, then in Math select all the text (Ctrl-A) and copy to the clipboard (Ctrl-C), then in Writer, paste it (Ctrl-V), select the just copied text and then Insert -> Object -> Formula. There may be other methods, but those are the two I've used regularly. For formulae that are to be used only within a single text document, I usually type the formula as it would be seen in the lower pane of Math, select the text and Insert -> Object -> Formula, as it's faster, even though probably more error prone. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Andy Pepperdine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Cc: "michael mill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 12:15 PM > Subject: Re: [users] [moderated] equation insert problems > > > On Thursday 25 January 2007 10:09, michael mill wrote: > > > every time i try to insert a previously created formula (.odf file) > > into > > > > my document the writer program freezes up! > > > > > > it opens and inserts ok when i try to open it up with the math program > > > independantly! > > > > I cannot reproduce the problem, could you give some more details of > > exactly > > > what you are doing.
