Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the challenge of copying large equations from Mathematica into MathType for use in Word documents, particularly for supplementary information in publications. Participants explore potential workarounds and methods to address the limitations encountered with large equations.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in copying a large equation from Mathematica into MathType, indicating that MathType reports the equation as too large.
  • Another participant provides a link to detailed instructions for copying Mathematica equations into MathType, suggesting that the original poster may be following these instructions.
  • A participant suggests breaking down the equation in Mathematica into smaller parts, specifically separating it by the "left of =" and "right of =" to facilitate copying.
  • There is a suggestion to copy the equation as MathML, paste it into Notepad, save it, and then share it as an attachment for further assistance.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on a definitive solution to the problem, and multiple approaches are proposed without agreement on their effectiveness.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the potential need for specific Mathematica functionalities that some participants may not have access to, as well as the dependence on the capabilities of MathType to handle large equations.

I want to copy and paste a very large equation from Mathematica into MathType in Word however MathType is saying my equation is too large. I need to do this for supplementary info for a publication. Any ideas?

We have detailed instructions on how to copy Mathematica equations and paste them into MathType: http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/works_with.htm?target=mathematica"

Thank you for your reply. I think my equation is too large to paste into MathType, is there any way around this? Thanks again.
 
If you're following the instructions in the article I linked to (and I assume you are), I know of only one workaround to the problem you're seeing. That is, if there's some way you can break down the equation in Mathematica before you copy it -- perhaps separate it by "left of =" and "right of =". I don't have Mathematica here, so I can't try that.

Can you go through the process up to the point where you copy it as MathML, then paste the MathML into Notepad, save it, and post it here as an attachment?
