Question

I have a report I need to import into MathCAD. The program says that it will generate an HTML or RTF file. Which would be better to import into MathCAD v14 M030?
EDIT: I try to copy the entire RTF file and it only pastes one page at a time. This is being brought in as a word file. If I say, import RTF, all formatting is gone and a whole bunch of garbled "data" is introduced (Garbled data=letters and symbols) as well as loosing the formatting. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, importing into Mathcad is one of the failings of the program. I have pasted parts of PDF files into Mathcad sheets; after only a few things get very slow--copying an equation may take several minutes, I've never discovered why. Pasting in large quantities of text tends to have the same effect.

I'm driven to ask why you need to import so much into Mathcad; it's not like the program will use any of it in computation. . .

Calculation formatting. Have same headers and footers. It goes to the long standing request request of adding MSWord features into MathCAD.

Let the word document saved as 2003 doc format in a separate file. Adjust left and right margins at what you want to see in mathcad. Then paste special, as referenced object. If you don't want to mix text and math (insterting math into text regions in mathcad) I see that this is a very well tool to write reports.

Notice that if you write into word, changing the size and location of referenced texts, mathcad can update them correctly - that's not the case with ms excel.

Also try to experiment saving ms word as doc, but with the html viewing: then you can resizing the fragments to different withs too.

There are a small issue that sometimes word go to some standard page with, and other related with the fact that even it is better paste entire paragraph, you must to leads with an extra carriage return in the image into mathcad.
