Is there some way I can use MS Word with the TeX formulas? On  I've learned the syntax $\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}$ etc.. But I do not know how to create a LaTeX document. Is there some way I can use this syntax in MS Word?
Let's say I have a (comparatively) lovely-looking document in LaTeX, full of lovingly typeset, (relatively) complex equations. Now, let's say some barbarians come along one day and decide that the document has to be put into Microsoft Word (2007). ...after the usual mourning period associated with such events, let's say I value my job (more specifically, the bread it provides) enough to get all the text and tables formatted and references organised into the Word document. –...related questions  and – Now I'm looking at the equations with fear and dread. One option of course is to just lift screenshots from the original document, but this is painstaking if I need to refer to parts of the equation in the text. Also, I might need to edit equations on the fly. Anyone know of a free application which allows embedding LaTeX math into MS Word? I've looked at  and  which do roughly what I want... they build LaTeX images from source and embed them into the Word document, allowing to edit the source later... but both are commerical. ...any help in these troubling times will be greatly appreciated. EDIT: Just a note that  offers a 30-day free trial and is working out really nicely... but still, it's not free. Might be a good solution for those with short-term needs, or money.
I am running a web site design service for local small business owner. I want avoid legal issues on the images I use. Usually, the images found on Flickr are forbidden for commercial use. Where would be a normal channel to get pictures for commercial use with minimal cost? How can I validate that the picture I used has no legal risk? I recall in at least two episodes of Star Trek ( from the original series and  from The Next Generation) that there is reference to and contact with species from external galaxies.  By the 29th century, we see that timeships exist.  My question is, is there any reference to intergalactic relations in Star Trek in the future (say, by the 29th Century), or does the Star Trek Universe stay in the Milky Way Galaxy? Does $\sum\limits_{k=1}^n 1 / k ^ 2$ converge when $n\rightarrow\infty$? I can prove this sum has a constant upper bound like this: $$\sum_{k=1}^n \frac1{k ^ 2} \lt 1 + \sum_{k=2}^n \frac 1  {k (k - 1)} = 2 - \frac 1 n \lt 2$$ And computer calculation shows that sum seems to converge to 1.6449.  But I still want to know:  Does this sum converge? Is there a name of this sum (or the series $\frac{1}{k^2} $)? Setting environment variables for latex and bibtex in .bashrc Possible Duplicate:          I recently started using TeX to write journal articles. I use TeX Live version 2009-10 on a laptop running Ubuntu 10.10 (64-bit). I edit and compile the tex files using vim and vim-latexsuite.   Currently for each journal article I have all associated tex, bib, eps, etc. files in individual folders. I would like to simplify my life a bit and have a dedicated folder containing a "master" bib file - And maybe another folder for my custom style files.   My problem is that can't figure out how I should define the PATH, and other environment variables in my .bashrc file to find the necessary support files (e.g., the .bib file). Which variables do I need to set? PATH? MANPATH? TEXINPUTS? BIBINPUTS? How to delete directories with path/names too long for normal delete I have a list of dictionaries and want each item to be sorted by a specific value. Take into consideration the list: [{'name':'Homer', 'age':39}, {'name':'Bart', 'age':10}]  When sorted by name, it should become: [{'name':'Bart', 'age':10}, {'name':'Homer', 'age':39}] What test can I use to compare slopes from two or more regression models? I would like to test the difference in response of two variables to one predictor. Here is a minimal reproducible example.   library(nlme)  ## gls is used in the application; lm would suffice for this example m.set &lt;- gls(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Width, data = iris,                 subset = Species == "setosa") m.vir &lt;- gls(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Width, data = iris,                 subset = Species == "virginica") m.ver &lt;- gls(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Width, data = iris,                 subset = Species == "versicolor")   I can see that the slope coefficients are different:  m.set$coefficients (Intercept) Petal.Width    4.7771775   0.9301727 m.vir$coefficients (Intercept) Petal.Width    5.2694172   0.6508306  m.ver$coefficients (Intercept) Petal.Width     4.044640    1.426365    I have three questions:   How can I test the difference between slopes? How can I test the difference between residual variances? What is a simple, effective way to present these comparisons?    A related question, , suggests re-running the model with a dummy variable to differentiate the slopes, are there options that would allow the use of independent data sets? There has been a trend now two persons downvote it then it goes on like that. So let there be down voting but do not display the downvotes till the user votes on it. Else the user reads it with an impression that the question is not good.  Am I missing something? How to plot and solve the numerical solution of a integro-differential equation Is it possible to build a single mysql query (without variables) to remove all records from the table, except latest N (sorted by id desc)?  Something like this, only it doesn't work :)  delete from table order by id ASC limit ((select count(*) from table ) - N)   Thanks. Making separate Python installation that can call ArcPy? I see a lot of Q&amp;As asking how you can create a separate Python installation (e.g. the Anaconda or Python XY distribution) that can use arcpy, while not 'breaking' the original ArcGIS python installation.  I had this same problem, and I think I have found a 'universal' solution. So far we have done this on about 8 computers at work and it all works fine.   How to install a separate Python distribution that can use ArcGIS? Is there anyway to find and remove ligatures from tex file? Sometimes when I copy/paste a text to Winedt, it shows perfect, but when I compile it to Pdf, some issues appear, e.g. finding becomes nding.  I am wondering if there is any way to search and find these characters?  Here is an example file (needs utf8 encoding).  \documentclass{article} \begin{document} ﬁ \end{document} Sum of principal minors What make is my BMX frame? I have a BMX forsale, but I would like to know what make the frame is so I can determine how much it is worth. Does anyone recognise this symbol on the frame?  Thanks for your help Jon Is there a new auto-login feature? Low budget alien movie about the Earth being cooked I’m looking for an alien movie I watched years ago, mid to late 2000’s about the Earth being cooked or heated up by aliens. The poster is a reflection of the Earth heating up with an orange glow on an aliens eye. It was a low budget movie and I think the one I watched was pirated from China. Again low budget, bad quality and the name could’ve been something worthy he word scorch or something like that. The alien in the movie had legs with knees that went inwards and it had red eyes. Why do we use von Neumann ordinals and not Zermelo ordinals? Why do we use von Neumann ordinals, $$ 0 = \emptyset $$ $$ n+1 = n \cup \{n\} $$  and not Zermelo ordinals? $$ 0 = \emptyset $$ $$ n+1 = \{ n \} $$ Bibliography per chapter with continuous numbering I would like to create a document with two chapters. After the first chapter there should be a bibliography. The next chapter should be able to reference items of the former chapter, but only show the new items in its bibliography, starting with the next number from the first bibliography.  Example:     Chapter 1 - The Fu   Fu has been done by Bar [1]. Early versions ...   Bibliography   [1] Bar et. al., Doning the Fu      Chapter 2 - Compining Fu with Herp   Doning Fu as described in [1]   neglects the advantages of Herp pointed out by Derp [2].   Consequently ....   Bibliography   [2] Derp et. al., The Advantages of Using Herp   Please not too much discussion about if that is a friendly-to-use idea, it is not my own demand :) using gb4e keeping interlinear glosses together on the same page I am using gb4e for several hundred interlinear glosses in my dissertation. Several of the examples span more than one page, that is, the vernacular and gloss will be on one page, while the free translation appears at the top of the next page.   How can I keep all three elements together on the same page? I often have subexamples (a, b, c) that don't need to stay together. That is, 1a can be on one page, and 1b on the next, as long as vernacular-gloss-free translation for each subpart stay together.  In the MWE below, the free translation is at the top of page 2, while the vernacular and gloss are at the bottom of page 1.  \documentclass[11pt,letterpaper]{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{gb4e} \noautomath \begin{document} \lipsum[1-4] \begin{exe}     \ex \gll wuz x̃ũch it-ak xohish-em\\              1\textsc{sg.prn} bread eat-\textsc{inf} want.\textsc{prs}-1\textsc{sg}\\         \glt `I want to eat bread.'  \end{exe} \end{document}   A solution was proposed to a similar question (), but it requires me to manually look for what could be dozens of orphans throughout my dissertation (and doesn't work when applied to my example, since it still strands the FT). I would prefer a more elegant solution that takes care of the problem automatically. Need help disabling imessage?
