I recall -- that came up in response to a question I raised about document submission to journals that require .doc format. I had tried to get the eqn output into HTML, but it didn't work (though it had in previous versions). > > now, the information from ted harding in this thread seems to indicate that at > least with Word2007 one should be able to use MathML markup directly and then > the abovementioned `eqn' modification should be the solution: capture the > `eqn' > MathML output and copy it into the Word document. I will have to check on the Word versions that support this. I have both 2000 and XP (aka 2003) on various computers and virtual machines. > > I would be very interested to hear from someone who manages to get it right: > equations seem the biggest obstacle when one prepares manuscripts in groff and > finally is forced to deliver a Word document. Agreed. Do you know where the cvs version may be found? And are you aware of any instructions for its installation? I would try it on a computer running FreeBSD 6.2. I usually have a remote X session running when I use Windows, so its exact location is not really a big deal. Frank
