Copying Maple outcomes in MS-Word

Go to File - Export As and choose RTF... This will export the whole worksheet. Then open this in Word, and cut and paste the relevant outputs from the RTF file into your new document. Regards, Georgios Kokovidis Dräger Medical

Copying Maple outcomes in MS-Word

Thanks for the answer. The quality is still quite poor (fare away from the quality of the MS Equation 3.0). I tried to find any possibilities to advance the export quality (to make sure that I have the correct settings) but I did not find any. However, exporting as html file delivers better results but in this case with very small image sizes. Regards Dirk

Pity

Up to Maple 9, Georgious's method above worked fine with MS Word 97. Unfortunately, introducing document mode in Maple 10 and 11 seems to have ruined that. I would very much like to see big improvements to Maple's capability in exporting to MS Word, and other big word processor programs, and to LaTex. After all, they're built to produce presentation quality documents, while Maple is built to do math. It seems a waste of Maplesoft's time and resources to try to build it's own document mode, when it could use the work of the experts. J. Tarr

for me it still works with M11

for me it still works to export from classic sheet with M11 to MS Word as an RTF file, however the formulae are exported as graphics, so they can not be edited if the file is a standard mode document then in some cases i can not even store it in classical format (especially those from the Application Center)

Lack of decent quality

Lack of decent quality export to formats that are in standard use in academia is the single most frustrating thing I find about Maple.

I don't care much about export capability to Word (well I have on occasion), but obviously there are many people that do.

If Maple could generate decent quality LaTeX (without having yet another steep learning curve to figure out how to do it...) I would be very happy. My experiments with LaTeX output have produced dismal results on fairly simple worksheets. Even just exporting to PDF or PostScript would be good. I know I can save plots as enhanced PostScript files, which is good for when I include them in LaTeX, but that's all I can save that way.

Expressions to LaTeX

Maybe my Maple to LaTeX converter which cleanly converts various expressions to LaTeX could have your interest.
