I didn’t see the following solution in any other responses. It’s probably the most reasonable one given the constraints of collaboration and publishing. In the absence of using the best software, I found it practical to write the equations in MathType and save them as MathType PDF equations and

Hi Randy, It's not ideal, but until the bug gets fixed or there's a more elegant solution, could you just set up your own autosave? It'd mean opening a terminal and running a command before starting, but if you had a little script like the below running while you were working you'd at least en

Hi Randy, I too suggest LaTeXiT. To add to what has already been suggested, LaTeXiT allows the assembly of a custom library of equations. You can send your collaborators this library as a file, and they could make minor edits to the equations in LaTexit gui editor without having to learn the fu

Hi Randy, although learning Latex as a whole can for sure be time-consuming, an alternative solution is to use a Latex equation editor like Latexit. You just have to learn the (easy) equation syntax and then you can drag and drop the formatted result into Word or Page, it's rock solid : http

Do your collaborators need to edit the equations? If not you can use LaTeXiT (sorry I'm that person!) which allows you to write your equation in LaTeX then export directly into word as a pdf. Link below.. http://www.chachatelier.fr/latexit/ Regards, Jonathan Davies PhD Student Department of

Hi Randy, You could try the beta version of the forthcoming version of Word and see if the bug is fixed. Obviously, it is a beta version and therefore a bit risky but it installs along side the current version and I’ve been trying it on my laptop without issue so far. One improvement for me i
