Copilot math to Word: keep equations editable (OMML workflow)

Quick answer

If your AI output includes LaTeX (like \frac{a}{b}) and you paste it into Word, it usually becomes plain text or breaks. Use native Word equations (OMML) instead. The fastest workflow is: save the AI output in a .docx or .txt, convert it, then download a Word file with editable equations.

Open the LaTeX → OMML converter.

Copilot outputs LaTeX—Word needs OMML

Copilot’s LaTeX is excellent for readability, but Word’s native equation format is OMML. Converting LaTeX → OMML gives you equations you can click and edit inside Word.

Fastest way for homework and reports

For student workflows, the fastest approach is a one-file conversion: paste Copilot’s answer into a .docx, convert it, and submit the resulting .docx.

When to use Word’s built-in equation editor (Alt+=)

If you only have 1–2 short equations, Word’s equation editor can accept linear input. For longer documents or many equations, conversion is more reliable and faster.

Recommended workflow (step-by-step)

1. Ask your AI (ChatGPT/Gemini/Copilot/Claude/Perplexity) to format math as LaTeX using $...$ for inline and \[...\] for display.
2. Copy the result into a .docx or .txt.
3. Upload it to the converter and download the converted .docx with native Word equations (OMML).
4. In Word, click an equation to edit it and confirm it behaves like a real Word equation.

FAQ

Will my equations remain editable?

Yes—OMML equations are editable inside Word’s equation editor (they are not images).

Do you store my files?

No. The converter processes the upload to generate the output and does not keep files long-term.

Does it work with matrices and cases?

Most common LaTeX math is supported, including fractions, roots, matrices, and aligned equations.
