Re: Export latex equation

Word.
I found some work-around solutions, but I thought that is maybe easier
to define an environment, which is used around all equation you want
to export. It writes the equation code to a tex file (with some
predefinied header) which name is an argument of the environment.
Something like:
\begin{exportequation}{filename.tex}
\begin{equation}
c^2=a^2+b^2
\end{equation}
\end{exportequation}
Of course it should work for eqnarray, split, ... too.

Hello,
why do you want to do this, or, better what do you need?

If you want to convert your complete document from LaTeX to Word, this
can be done by
a) TeX4ht (oolatex) -> OpenOffice file -> OpenOffice or LibreOffice ->
save as Word file
b) latex2rtf converter. This has the options to either include the
equations in Word as EQ fields or does something like you intend, i.e.
for each equation write the LaTeX source to a file, compile this file
with LaTeX, run dvips, run ImageMagick + ghostscript to convert the eps
to png, and finally insert the png into the generated rtf file which can
be opened in Word.

If you want to directly write in Word but also have LaTeX's superior
equation typesetting, then you could use a tool like
Aurora http://elevatorlady.ca/ or
Latex in Word http://latexinword.sourceforge.net/
