Question

Add Mathcad sheets to Microsoft Word

I am looking for a straightforward way to add my mathcad sheet to word. The solutions I found online haven't been working well or are not very practical considering I have over 200 pages on mathcad

maybe someone knows an alternative that works for my case

what I have tried so far is:

1. Copy Paste with Keep Source Formatting:

Does not respect page margins, even if I copy and paste page by page with both Mathcad and word with the same page size and margins:

2 Copy Paste with Merge Formatting:

this happens when there is math inside a textbox, which happens often:

it is like they are all superscripted, it looks odd

 

3 Print to PDF and add to word: doesn't work because word only adds the first page of the PDF

 

4 Snip every single page and add one by one: works but it would take too long. Also there might be a chance I will have to update my mathcad calculations and redo this process, making it very time consuming

same for: creating a PDF of every single page separately and add each one on word. this likely could be scripted on word but I don't know how to code that

 

what other options do I have? thanks!

Hi,

Save As the Mathcad to rich text format *.rtf.

Microsoft word can open the rtf format.

I just tried the RTF and for some reason it creates some page breaks at weird locations, and when I try to delete them, this happens:

a huge blank space I cannot delete

any advice on how to fix this? thanks

if there is a way to get rid of these page breaks, this solution can actually be good

the issue I have now is that for some reason I have some spots with page breaks resulting in One or Two blank pages, and when i try to delete the page breaks, a lot of stuff moves around.
