Hi :) I thought the Math (maybe called "Formula" now?) module/app could import various different formats. MathML 1.01 (mml) might be one MS Office uses?
I'm not sure how much that helps if there are tons of formulae interspersed with normal text :( Maybe the Published Guides might help? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Math_Guide Good luck! Hopefully someone else here might have a better answer! Please let us know how this goes Regards from Tom :) On 15 August 2014 17:02, Graham Luffrum <[email protected]> wrote: > Someone has sent me to translate an MS doc containing equations written > with MathType.
