How to copy ChatGPT equations into Word as editable equations (OMML)

1) Ask ChatGPT to output formulas in LaTeX

Add a line to your prompt such as:

Write the solution using LaTeX formulas.
Use $...$ for inline math and $$...$$ for display math.

Example output:

The function is:
$$f(t)=e^{-8t+1} + \sin(8t+1)$$
Inline: $E=mc^2$

2) Paste the answer into a .docx or .txt file

• Select the full answer in ChatGPT.
• Paste into a Word document (.docx) or a .txt file.
• Save it locally (e.g., exercise-chatgpt.docx).

Tip: keep the text plain. Formatting is optional; equations are the key.

3) Upload the file to the converter

Open Equations to Word, upload your file, and click Convert document.

4) Download the converted .docx with native Word equations (OMML)

You’ll get a new .docx where formulas are inserted as Word equations, so you can edit them with Word’s equation editor.

5) Supported delimiters and best practices

• Inline math: $...$
• Display math: $$...$$ or \[...\]
• Keep LaTeX simple (fractions, powers, subscripts, matrices, sums, products).

6) Troubleshooting (when a formula fails)

• Unsupported commands: simplify custom macros, packages and exotic commands.
• Unbalanced brackets: make sure every { has a matching }.
• Start small: convert one equation first, then scale up.

7) Quick summary

1. Ask ChatGPT for LaTeX output.
2. Save the answer to .docx or .txt.
3. Upload to Equations to Word.
4. Download a .docx with editable OMML equations.

Why copy/paste fails (and how to fix it)

AI tools often produce LaTeX that looks correct, but when pasted into Word it may remain plain text or pick up hidden characters. The result: not editable, broken symbols, or inconsistent spacing.

Tip: For a complete workflow, see the LaTeX → OMML guide.

Fast workflow

1. Ask the AI to wrap equations with consistent delimiters.
2. Paste the AI output into a .txt or .docx as plain text.
3. Upload and convert with Equations to Word.

FAQ

Can I keep the rest of the text?

Yes—keep your text in the document and convert only the LaTeX segments into native equations.
