Ups, I've make a mistake writing aMath's url. It's http://www.amath.net (and not
.org)

I completely agree with mguillem. This IS an issue. I reported it more than two
years ago, and it is absolutely not fixed. For that reason, it is not possible
to say that OOo is compatible with MS Word because it is not true. I have all my
work (hundreds of hours) wrote with MS equation fields and I can't use OOo for
that reason. To fix this for my own use I wrote (two years ago) a MS macro to
convert MS equation fields into text. I thought then import this into OOo and
write a macro in OOo language to convert into OOo equations. But I am not a
programmer and...I have no time to learn OOo language...So I did not success.

Again: why is it marked as fixed/resolved as it isn't the case?

I've had a look at the filter's source code. It seems that only to types of
equation fields are converted: combined characters like \o(\s\up Y(XXX),\s\do
Y(XXX)) and ruby text (?) other kinds of equations are simply ignored.

What about importing them as hidden text? This would give people having custom
eq fields in Word, the posibility to write a macro converting their Word EQ
fields to whatever they want.

I totally disagree the need of implementation of equation fields in Writer. 

I'm the author of aMath (http://www.amath.org, a MS Word template facilitating
the creation of math texts used by a great number of math teachers) and have a
great experience of these fields. The equation fields in MS Word are only a
legacy feature that is fast and easily scriptable but doesn't provide a lot of
features. Oo Math component is far better and MS Word equation fields should be
converted to Oo Math. The difficulty is that MS Word equation fields are often
used with custom constructs like \s\up2(\f(3;5)) to have the fraction 3/5
moved up for a better aligment. The ideal import solution would give the
possibility to configure how equation are transformed from equation fields to
Math formula for instance using a set of regexp: in this case
\\s\\up2(\\f\((.*);(,*)\)\) to $1 over $2.

Why is this issue marked as fixed as it is not the case?
