WordMat can also be used as an editor that uses MikTex to create actual LaTex documents.WordMat installs LaTex fonts and includes a template which mimics the look of LaTex documents. Convertion of equations to LaTex entered using Words equation editor.Words equation editor does not support automatic numbering and referencing of equations.Everything can be entered using the keyboard Words equation editor for Word is really good and fast.
Full layout control since Word is the editor.
Input and output is correct mathematical notation.WordMat is one tool for all your math needs.WordMat is free, released under GNU General Public Licence. When installed a menu will be available in Word granting access to advanced mathematical functions. Just send me a PM.WordMat is an addon to Microsoft Word. But if there is a request, I can add those figures as well. Since I have a Hungarian Office 2016, I did not want to insert the other widgets with buttons on them, since this post is in English. Here is an image about both the ugly and the pretty outcome.
How to do it?Īs far as I know, these steps work for both Office 20 versions (as of now). In the first round, I would be happy, if these steps were work automatically, in one step. I think, it wouldn’t require much effort from the developers. :) (Not to mention my English writing skills, as you can see reading the text above.) So in the end, after a long search and the trial-and-error method, I found a quite good solution, but I hope, that the future versions of Office will deal about this problem. :) And I’d like to learn to use GitHub Pages and Jekyll. Or rather let’s just say it’s my version of it. I found a good guide about how to number your equations correctly and automatically ( this one), which explains it really well, but since it was a real nightmare until I succeeded, I try to give a longer, but more understandable version of it. The common solution for the equation numbering is to use brackets and a number in between, like the following (I use MathJax here). And this but is about the equation referencing. So things changed for the better over the years.īut there is always a “but”. And using BibTex I can export my reference databases to Office 2007 format, which I can import in Office 2013/16. In Office 2013 I can choose the IEEE form (which was not present in the earlier versions like Office 2010), which is the common referencing format in my field. I cannot even say very bad things about the referencing system. The figure and section references work quite well. The main reason I chose Office is that I know it better, than the whole TeX system and I find much faster to type and format the material, even if it’s not that pretty at the end. Some might say, that LaTeX is much better, which is true in some sense. However, I’m writing my PhD thesis these days and for some reasons I chose Microsoft Office to do that. I haven’t written anything for a long time.
