<h3>Is <I>Math</I> compatible with the equation editor of Microsoft
Word?</h3>
<P><I>Math</I> provides import and export filters for <A HREF="http://www.mathtype.com/">MathType</A>
from Design science. (The equation editor of Microsoft Word is a
limited version of MathType.)</P>
<P>When exporting from <I>Writer</I> to Microsoft Word,
OpenOffice.org converts embedded <I>Math</I> formulas to MathType.</P>
<P>When importing from Microsoft Word to <I>Writer</I>,
OpenOffice.org does the reverse conversion.</P>
<P>As with any file type conversion you should of course be aware
that <I>Math</I> and MathType have different capabilities and this
will affect the results.</P>
<P>If you prefer to keep the formulas in the original format, you can
change this behavior in the configuration:</P>
<UL>
	<LI>Select <B>Tools-Options</B>.
	<LI>Select <B>Load/Save-Microsoft Office</B>.
	<LI>Remove the check marks from<KBD> MathType to OpenOffice.org
	Math </KBD>and<KBD> OpenOffice.org Math to MathType</KBD>.
</UL>
