In general, I don't think you can just copy an equation from Word and paste it into a browser. If you think about it, this is an OS-specific issue. There's surely a specific clipboard format for MS Office equations and the browser probably won't care about it. It will recognize plain text/rich text/HTML, but will most likely ignore anything else. If there were a browser that has an API for that, you would be able to do it using JavaScript. The closest thing to that I found is Clipboard API, but it's new and doesn't care about custom clipboard formats. Another (non-standard) experiment I found is [2] - this will work only in Chrome and only for ctrl-v (i.e. not for paste from context menu), and this example is specific for images. That means there will be an extra step for the user - he will have to export the equation in some text format that you can process.
