# Copy to Word
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TexPixel can export your recognized formulas directly into Microsoft Word as native, editable equations — not images. This means you can continue editing the formula inside Word after export.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How to Export to Word
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Upload your formula image and wait for recognition to complete.
|
||
|
|
2. Click the **Export** button in the result panel.
|
||
|
|
3. Select **DOCX** from the file export options.
|
||
|
|
4. Download the file and open it in Microsoft Word.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The downloaded `.docx` file contains your formula as a native Word equation (OMML format), which Word renders using its built-in equation editor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Why Use DOCX Export?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Method | Editable in Word | Renders Correctly | Copy-Paste |
|
||
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
|
|
| Screenshot / image | No | Yes | No |
|
||
|
|
| LaTeX string | No (without plugin) | No | Yes |
|
||
|
|
| DOCX export | **Yes** | **Yes** | N/A |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The DOCX format is ideal when you need to:
|
||
|
|
- Submit homework or reports as Word documents
|
||
|
|
- Share formulas with colleagues who don't use LaTeX
|
||
|
|
- Continue editing the formula after export
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Inserting into an Existing Document
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to insert a formula into an existing Word document rather than starting fresh:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Open the downloaded `.docx` file in Word.
|
||
|
|
2. Select the equation and copy it (`Ctrl+C` / `Cmd+C`).
|
||
|
|
3. Paste it into your target document (`Ctrl+V` / `Cmd+V`).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Word preserves the equation formatting during paste.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Mixed Content (Text + Formulas)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If your upload contains a mix of regular text and formulas (e.g., a textbook page), use DOCX export — it's the only format that handles mixed content correctly. LaTeX and MathML export are only available for pure-formula results.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> **Note:** For mixed-content results, LaTeX/MathML export is disabled. Use DOCX to get a properly formatted document with both text and equations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Compatibility
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DOCX export is compatible with:
|
||
|
|
- Microsoft Word 2016 and later (Windows and Mac)
|
||
|
|
- Google Docs (equations render as images when imported)
|
||
|
|
- LibreOffice Writer (partial support)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Tips
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- After pasting into Word, double-click the equation to open the equation editor and make changes.
|
||
|
|
- If the formula looks different from expected, try re-uploading a higher-resolution image for a more accurate recognition result.
