You can use Preferences -> Translators to select a [itex]\LaTeX[/itex] translator.
After that, just copy the selection and paste in here. Put it between [ tex ]-tags :smile:
 
But... ..where is "preference??"
i m sorry...
i don't know where it is..... :cry:
 
In Mathtype, it's a menu item :wink:

help~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why after i paste them here, they are shown in this way...??
 
Yes, that's normal lol. Tick off the last 2 options in that translator menu.
So "Include translator name in translation" and "Include Mathtype data in translation"

I'm sure you tried [tex]\sqrt {a^2 + b^2 }[/tex], so that worked - now it just gives too much :smile:

Don't forget to put the [itex]\LaTeX[/itex]-code between "[ tex ]" and "[ /tex ]" (no spaces!)

hahahah
i m successful!
[tex] \[<br /> \begin{array}{l}<br /> \sqrt {a^2 + b^2 } \\ <br /> \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}} \\ <br /> \sin \theta \\ <br /> \end{array}<br /> \][/tex]

Now, just remember that too much LateXing can be hazardous to your health..
