I strongly agree with everything Mark says here. I have Acrobat 6.0 and have no trouble writing pdf files from Mathematica notebooks when I want to demonstrate something to someone who doesn't have Mathematica. David Park djmp at earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/ From: Mark Westwood [mailto:markc.westwood at gmail.com] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Hi This isn't a very helpful answer and I'm also going to ask the question 'Why do you want to do that ?', so don't feel obliged to read on ... I have never found a satisfactory way of displaying bits and pieces from Mathematica (graphics, equations, etc) in Word. I'd go further and claim never to have found a satisfactory way of displaying any vector graphics format in Word. So I've given up trying. But ... if I have a technical document to write, involving equations, graphics, text, etc, I simply write it in Mathematica. To publish it to non-Mathematica owners you could either give them a copy of MathReader (see the Wolfram web-site) or publish it as a PDF (several good free PDF writers for PCs, go Google). So, why not ditch Word since you already have a much better technical documentation program on your desktop ?
