If Perplexity or Claude gives you LaTeX, convert it to OMML so Word equations remain editable and consistent across devices.

Quick tip Convert LaTeX (or AI-generated math) into native, editable Word equations (OMML).

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 “copy/paste” is inconsistent across apps

Browsers, editors, and Word treat math differently. Some preserve formatting, others strip it, and Word may replace characters depending on font and encoding.

Make the AI output predictable

  • Ask for LaTeX-only math (avoid Unicode).
  • Ask for consistent delimiters: $...$ and \[...\].
  • Ask the model to avoid Markdown tables for heavy math; use plain text and blocks.

Troubleshooting checklist

  1. If equations are plain text: convert to OMML.
  2. If you see question marks: re-generate using LaTeX commands.
  3. If alignment breaks: use display math blocks for each step.

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.
