Hi Dan, 

LaTeX is crossplatform, so once you learn how it works on one operating system, 
you'll be fine on any other.

The only way I've found to turn a word processed document into a LaTeX one is 
to copy the file to a text editor i.e. TextEdit and then add the LaTex syntax 
etc stripping out all the word processed stuff such as quotation marks if you 
are using text and elipcies to name just two things. LaTeX has a special way of 
writing these correctly which retains formatting and spacing. 

Unfortunately, I cannot help you with your specific Math problem as i have only 
used LaTeX for text-based work.

  Subject: Question: how to convert from Mac Word processor into LaTex?



  Hi,

  Since there seem to be some LaTex experts on this list, I thought I would ask 
this question here:

  How do you convert a word processor document with math equations into laTex?

  I need to come up with a solution to this problem both on the Mac and on the 
PC, so any input would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards

  Daniel
