Hello,
I have received a file made in MS Word (probably XP) with some
mathematical formulae.
Whenever I try to save it to .doc to be sent back to the author (who,
by the way, does not have OOo so I absolutely have to send it as an MS
Word file), the formula seen in the attached files gives me massive
trouble:
1- If I don't touch the formula at all, whether I mess around or not
with the rest of the document, it will appear as in Testdoc.doc after
saving - looks way narrower than the original but the content is fine.
2- If I just try to edit the formula by double-clicking on it, it will
turn into what is seen in Testdoc6.doc - a completely different thing
that doesn't make any sense.
3- If I copy the definition of the formula from the original file,
re-type it on my new file and only *then* do I save it, it will look
as in Testdoc8.doc - perfect in OOo, but reportedly some symbols are
missing when seen in MS Word.
Any ideas on why this might be happening and how to prevent it?
Attachments do not come through to the list for security reasons.
The math components of both Office and OOo are very different. They
are saved differently so this probably explains the various ways that
it is being displayed.
When I was using OOo and had math equations in it, but knew the end
result had to be .doc, I simply exported the equations to PNG then
reinserted them as graphic's. Not elegant but it did work.
