I tried to use latex2rtf but it did not work. I created very simple fraction in Mathematica \!\(x\_1\/x\_2\) Then, I saved it special as test.tex file. Then I opened it in Scientific Workplace and it shows as a tag named dispSFinmath. Double-clicking on a tag brings up properties windows that has the following text \dispSFinmath{ \frac{{x_1}}{{x_2}} } I then used compile and it does not look like it looked in Mathematica. I decided to skip the step of opening it in Scientific Workplace and opened it in latex2rtf. I hit run and Command Prompt window pops out with the following text test.tex:31 Unknown style option notebook2e ignored test.tex:31 Unknown style option latexsym ignored test.tex:36 Command \dispSFinmath not found - ignored Press any key to continue . . . I hit any key and Command Prompt window disappears and test.rtf file is created. However, when I open it in Word I see this \F(x\s\do5(1),x\s\do5(2)) which does not look nearly as the embedded object I thought I would see. Please let me know what I am doing wrong Thanks for help, Mukhtar Bekkali Mike wrote: > If you save a notebook as TeX you can then use the freeware latex2rtf > program to convert this to a rich text document which can then be saved as a > word document. latex2rtf runs on UNIX boxes (eg.
