Question

Mathcad15 in Word error

Hi everyone,

when I try to make a Mathcad15 object in Word, I do not get my calculations through.

(See image 'Word', my 'c' isn't calculated)

I already tried to reinstall Mathcad15 but that didn't work out. It's a very simple test calculation that doesn't go through. (see image)

What I already noticed is when I use 'paste special' it doesn't show 'Mathcad object' but just 'Object' and I can't make an object link, but no idea if that is part of the problem. (see image) I also want to make it a link so I can refresh these calculations in my Word file.

There are no issues on my collegues PC.

Anyone had a similar issue or has a solution?

 

Thanks in advance,

Arne

Hi,

 

Try cutting and pasting from a working Mathcad sheet

 to a word document.

My intention is to make a Mathcad15 template because I have to make a lot of similar calculations (I'm a structural engineer). This Mathcad15 sheet would be pretty big. If I have to 'copy/paste' everything everytime to my Calculation note template (word) then I would lose a lot of time.

 

So my goal is to have a product like this:

- Fill in my input in Mathcad15

- Let Mathcad15 do my calculations

- Save and close Mathcad15, open the MS Word calculation note with the object references to Mathcad15

- Refresh all Mathcad15 objects

-Done

 

Mathcad prime doesn't have a 'object link' function with Word so I have to use Mathcad15.

Like I said, it works on my collegue's computer for the simple 'Test' with the a, b and c as in the image but not on my pc, so there is just a bug somewhere.

 

Thanks anyways for trying to help me out.

Are you and your colleague using the same version of office?

Note that mathcad 15 predates Office 2016...
