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.
Why paste from Gemini breaks in Word
Gemini often outputs LaTeX. Word does not interpret raw LaTeX as a native equation by default, so it becomes plain text, loses alignment, or renders as question marks for unsupported symbols.
Best prompt to ask Gemini for clean LaTeX
Use a prompt like: “Format every equation in LaTeX. Use $...$ for inline math and \[...\] for display math. Avoid Unicode math symbols; use LaTeX commands.”
Common issues and fixes
- Question marks ( ? ): usually unsupported characters or fonts—ask Gemini to use LaTeX commands instead of Unicode symbols.
- Mixed inline/display math: keep consistent delimiters and avoid nested dollar signs.
- Long derivations: split into display blocks with \[...\] for readability.
Recommended workflow (step-by-step)
- Ask your AI (ChatGPT/Gemini/Copilot/Claude/Perplexity) to format math as LaTeX using
$...$for inline and\[...\]for display. - Copy the result into a
.docxor.txt. - Upload it to the converter and download the converted
.docxwith native Word equations (OMML). - 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.
