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?

    Take (:= (@FUNCTION (@LABEL VARIABLE f) (@ARGS (@LABEL VARIABLE x))) (/ (+ (^ x 2) (@APPLY sin (@ARGS x))) (@APPLY ln (@ARGS x)))) and ask CHAT GPT to convert to LaTex. Then use equation function in word.  Follow https://youtu.be/QK5extaCbaI?si=J2nL1LEeF_27KRde

     

    Probably ok for small batches.

    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.
