Workflow

How to produce the output

  1. Build and verify the equation.
  2. Use Copy for Word and paste into the document.
  3. If Word pastes plain text, insert an equation field and paste LaTeX, or try MathML.
  4. Use PNG only when editability is unnecessary and exact appearance matters.

Practical notes

Before you export

Word equation behavior differs across desktop, web, operating system, and paste settings.

Keep the LaTeX source alongside important documents so the formula can be regenerated.
