Copying Mathcad Prime equation into Word or Powerpoint equation, and vice versa

Hi all

 

Does anyone know if there is a way to paste a Mathcad Prime equation into an native equation in Microsoft Word or Powerpoint? And also the other way around, from Powerpoint into Mathcad Prime?

I fear, no, as neither software provides an import/export facility for the proprietary equation format of the other, nor does Prime in any way support the export in any open equation format.

If you copy a math expression (not the full region) like

from Prime to a text editor, you will see this

(:= (@FUNCTION (@LABEL VARIABLE f) (@ARGS (@LABEL VARIABLE x))) (/ (+ (^ x 2) (@APPLY sin (@ARGS x))) (@APPLY ln (@ARGS x))))

The equation editor of M$ Office can't handle this.

Hi Werner

 

Thanks for your reply. Just because Microsoft's equation can export as MathML. And Mathcad Prime sheets are saved as set of XML files. But you are probably right that there is no straightfoward solution.
