Save LiveScript as an MS Word document, but keep the equations editable

When I save a Live Script as a Word .docx file the equations are all converted to images, and therefore are not editable. Is there an option/setting to export the Live Script in a form where the equations remain editable, e.g. via the MS Word Equation Editor?

Hello Matt,

I understand that you are trying to know whether there is an option or setting to export the Live Script in a form where the equations remain editable.

When saving a Live Script as a Word .docx file in MATLAB, the equations are indeed converted to images to ensure consistent rendering across different platforms and versions of Microsoft Word.

However, we can copy and paste the equation from the output pane of Live Script. Use “Copy as MathML” option for copying the equation from output pane and paste into the equation editor of Microsoft Word. This method of copying enables us to edit the equations in MS Word.

Hope it helps.

Thanks @Sai Pavan. That is good to know, but it seems like it should be possible for MathWorks to automate the process you describe for us, rather than for us to hand copy one equation at a time.
