Frequently asked questions
What is the easiest way to convert LaTeX to Word?
The fastest method is to paste your LaTeX into FormulAI and click Generate - the AI converts it to a native Word equation in under 5 seconds. Alternatively, Microsoft Word 2016 and later has a built-in LaTeX mode: insert an equation, switch to LaTeX mode, type your code, then press Space to render.
Does Microsoft Word support LaTeX?
Yes, since Office 365 version 2109 (September 2021), Word's equation editor accepts LaTeX syntax. You can type \frac{1}{2}, \int, \sum, and most standard commands. FormulAI normalises any LaTeX input and handles more variants automatically.
How do I paste a LaTeX equation into Microsoft Word?
Method 1 (Word 2021/365): Insert → Equation → switch to 'LaTeX' mode → paste your code → press Space. Method 2 (any Word version): Use FormulAI - paste your LaTeX, click Generate, then click 'Copy to Word' and paste into your document. Method 2 is more reliable for complex equations.
Can I convert \begin{aligned} environments to Word?
Yes. FormulAI supports multi-line aligned equations, matrix environments, cases, and nested fractions - converted to Word's native OMML format.
Is there a free LaTeX to Word converter?
Yes. FormulAI converts your first equation for free, no sign-up required. Additional equations cost £2.49 for a pack of 5 - a one-time payment, no subscription.
Does it work on Word for Mac?
Yes. The generated equation is copied as OOXML, which Word for Mac 2016, 2019, 2021, and Microsoft 365 all support natively.
