I have version 7.0.1
$Version
7.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (February 19, 2009)
s = TeXForm[Sum[f[n], {n, 1, m}]]
\sum _{n=1}^m f(n)
ToExpression["\\sum _{n=1}^m f(n)", TeXForm]
Sum[f[n], {n, 1, m}]

hello;
I did.
With or without space, I get the same error. Which version you used? I am
using version 7
In[1]:= ToExpression["\\sum _{n=1}^m f(n)", TeXForm]
During evaluation of In[1]:= ToExpression::esntx:Could not parse \sum
_{n=1}^m f(n) as Mathematica input.
Out[1]= $Failed
Thanks
