Quick tip Convert LaTeX (or AI-generated math) into native, editable Word equations (OMML).
What you can convert now
The converter accepts .docx, .txt and .md files with LaTeX formulas, detects common delimiters and returns a Word file with editable OMML equations.
Symptom
Equations look fine on your computer, but on another device they show square boxes, replaced symbols, or unexpected characters.
Most common cause: math font mismatch
Word equations usually rely on Cambria Math (or equivalent math fonts). If the font is missing or overridden by an aggressive template style, symbols may break.
Fixes in priority order
- Select the equation and confirm a math-capable font is applied (Cambria Math).
- Avoid forcing a global body font inside equation runs.
- Reopen the file in desktop Word if the issue appears in preview apps.
- Prefer LaTeX-to-OMML conversion instead of mixed rich-text paste from AI chats.
If the source is ChatGPT
If you also see question marks or odd symbols after copy/paste, check: question marks when pasting ChatGPT equations.
Stable delivery checklist
- Convert your source file to OMML equations.
- Review the final .docx in the same Word version used for grading/review.
- Keep a clean copy without manual symbol substitutions.
Stable workflow: upload a .docx/.txt with LaTeX at Equations to Word and download editable OMML equations.
